About this Event
Each month, we'll read and discuss a different text to inspire our own free-write session, drawing from women's stories of power, madness, sensuality, tragedy, queerness, and insubordination. Time will be set aside at the end of each meetup for folks to share excerpts of what they've written.
This April, we’ll delve into "The Exaltation of Inanna" by Enheduanna, a royal priestess of ancient Mesopotamia who is often credited as the world's first known author. We'll examine the ancient intersections of poetry, politics and prayer, following archetypal storylines across time and space, and weaving in our own mythologies to shape the tapestry of women's literature throughout the ages.
Written Women is led by poet, movement artist and facilitator Katya Borkov. You can learn more about her work at www.everythingspills.studio, or on instagram @everything.spills
