We've covered sex, erotica, shenanigans! Now, we're taking it to a new level. Because George and JP don't just want to read poems about sex (honest)…
In this workshop, we'll get into some poems about loving and listening to our bodies. In Gayathiri's words, “It's not been easy, but I'm learning about how to accept and nurture my relationship with my body from other disabled friends and writers. Our shared crip-queer worldview is a powerful thing. It continues to transform the way I live and write.”
For us, this is a hugely important workshop. A big part of eff-able was that we wanted people to feel connected to their bodies and empowered, to accept and nourish and to feel amazing in the skin we're in. We're so excited for this workshop!
