“Somewhere beneath this poem,” writes Victoria Adukwei Bulley, “is the one you sat down to write.” What lives in the space between said and unsaid? How do our inherited narratives and embodied truths unfold in many kinds of quiet on the page?
In this workshop, we will look at poems from Bulley’s transformative debut collection Quiet to think about quiet as technique, quiet as form, and quiet as the body’s logbook. The session will include close reading, discussion, and writing exercises.
