Fruity Poetry Night is a monthly poetry open mic night for all meant to provide safe space for queer poets, writers, singers and storytellers in Phoenix Arizona.

In this workshop, we'll be unraveling the importance of writing about embarrassments and vulnerabilities in poems. The best poems, whether they make us laugh out loud or break our heart, require vulnerability that often feels like embarrassment. However, if we're brave, we'll notice that often it's our little humiliations that draw people to our work. Great poetry makes us feel seen and heard, touching on universal emotion that can bring us closer together especially when we feel isolated and alone. An introvert friendly workshop, I will never call on you, make you talk or answer questions, and there is no requirement to share anything you write while we're together.
