"Please, put the book uphill on the desk." Inside this poetry workshop, we’ll begin with an exploration of how different languages discuss space (as bodily-orientation, as visible versus invisible, as temporal metaphor, as emanating from a landform) to get participants to rethink the space of English. We will also explore how prepositions themselves in English move emotional and imagistic weight. This linguistics tour will offer participants some fresh ways to rethink where things are.This is a hybrid event in collaboration with the Write on 4th Community Center.
