About this Event
¡OYE! Group’s Poet’s Corner FREE writing program for teens and adults is taking place every month all year!
Join us every third Thursday of each month for an inspiring night of words, creativity, and community at ¡OYE! Group’s Multipurpose Space, 214 Starr St. Brooklyn, Unit 2-2.
This series of workshops is curated by ¡OYE! Group’s inaugural Poet-in-Residence, Roya Marsh.
Each workshop will be led by a guest poet and followed by an open mic.
Next up: Samson Maldonado
Date: October 8, 2026, from 7pm - 9pm
About this workshop: This workshop I will facilitate is called "Understanding Self" and the main intention is to help writers in the workshop tap a little further into themselves through a multitude of prompts and activities.
Come kick it, write boldly, and leave energized by fresh ideas from fellow storytellers.
How to get here:
Take the L train and get off on Jefferson Street. Walk toward Maria Hernandez Park on Starr Street; we're right next to Starr Bar and in front of Pitanga Restaurant.
Poet’s Corner is curated by the inaugural Poet in Residence, Roya Marsh.
Described by GLAAD as “a commanding voice in contemporary poetry”, Bronx native Roya Marsh is a multi-award-winning poet, performer, educator, and activist who works feverishly toward Queer liberation and dismantling white supremacy. Her widely featured work constantly focuses on uplifting the voices of marginalized communities and is therefore firmly aligned with ¡OYE! Group’s continuing mission. We look forward to supporting and collaborating with her in the upcoming year.
