Synergies of People & Place: A Reading & Workshop with Cincinnati Poet Laureate Yalie Saweda Kamara

In this two-part event, I will be reading from my debut poetry collection Besaydoo (Milkweed Editions, 2024) and facilitating a writing workshop “Synergies of People and Place.”

Description: Who were we, who are we, and who will be by virtue of movement? Through discussion and examinations of poetry, moving and still images, and music, this generative writing workshop considers the ways in which migration and location inform our identities and how our presences conversely impact the spaces we frequent, encounter, or inhabit.
