REVEL IN THE REMNANTS
an eight week workshop
through February and march
Overview
Revel in the Remnants is a workshop hosted by poet BEE LB about grief in all forms. Whether distant, fresh, displaced, or muddled, there is room for you and your expression of and experience with grief. We will touch on themes of estrangement, loss of family, self, strangers, witnessing, change, what and who is left behind, as well as
how to live with and alongside it.You can expect to come out of this workshop with around 8 newly written poems and, ideally, a deeper understanding of your grief and its different facets, as well as the community that helps see and hold who you are and how you feel.

workshop structure
Revel in the Remnants consists of eight generative workshops. The structure will be roughly the same each week.Materials will be sent out in advance, in order to give participants time to familiarize themselves with the work we'll be reading. Zoom links will be sent out the day of the workshop.
The workshop will start with optional introductions asking for your name, pronouns, and a word to describe the aspect of grief we're covering that week.We'll read 5 poems revolving around that particular aspect of self.After reading, we'll discuss the poems as a group, making collective meaning and hopefully coming to a fuller understanding of the self.Then we'll move onto scaffolding questions, a tool meant to move us from thinking about others’ writing into thinking about our own; mad libs, a fill-in-the-blank exercise meant to think creatively and work on associative leaps; and prompts related to the poems read and the aspect of self focused on.Finally, we'll move into a 15-minute writing time in which you craft a poem in whatever way feels best to you. We will all have the same amount of time, we'll all be working on rough first drafts, and no one will expect perfection. After writing, we'll have an optional readback. Praise may be given, critique will not.
