Poets Corner with Kai Giovanni (The Personal as Political)
¡Oye! Group's Poets Corner is a free writing program for teens and adults, curated by poet-in-residence Roya Marsh, every third Thursday. This month's Poets Corner will be led at Library for Arts and Culture by Kai Giovanni, author of In Season and the 2025 New York City Youth Poet Laureate.
Kai's workshop will cover how to pull the personal into the political and craft pieces that engage audiences through both intimacy and broad strokes.
Participants will learn how to connect one's personal narrative to its broader, political implication in a piece. Using technical and emotional skills, participants will use the personal to mend the political (and vice versa) in a poem.
