<\/a>What:<\/strong> Kearny Street Workshop’s 7th Annual Intergenerational Writers Lab<\/a> The Kearny Street Workshop’s Intergenerational Writers Lab is, according to the KSW’s web site<\/a>,<\/p>\n “A unique program with three of SF\u2019s community-based interdisciplinary arts organizations designed to thoroughly explore and develop your writing. Accepted applicants will participate in eight workshops led by accomplished writers and artists, engage in and be inspired by other artistic genres, perform their work at a public event, be published in online anthology, and have the opportunity to develop a communal network of writing peers.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This year’s program will feature Lorna Dee Cervantes<\/a><\/strong>, Letitia Hernandez<\/strong>, Ben Fong-Torres<\/a><\/strong>, and Genny Lim <\/strong>as instructors.\u00a0 Applications<\/a> can be found on KSW’s web site.\u00a0 For those accepted, the workshop carries a tuition fee of $425<\/strong>, but a few scholarships<\/strong> are available. KSW has an eye to supporting artists of all aesthetic stripes (from spoken word to lyric verse to avant-garde), but specifically emphasizes that the ideal applicant for their Writers Lab should “demonstrate a consistent pursuit of the arts and a deep interest in participating in an experimental writing program.”\u00a0 If you are a young SF Bay Area writer looking to explore new forms and techniques under the guidance of older, more established local artists, we highly recommend that you consider taking advantage of this opportunity.<\/p>\n [note: edited 1\/26\/10 at 4:17 PM EST<\/em>, to reflect KSW’s announcement of Genny Lim as tbe fourth instructor<\/em>.]<\/p>\n * * *<\/p>\n What:<\/strong> Kundiman Annual Poetry Retreat<\/a> Writes Kundiman<\/a>, by way of introduction to its annual retreat program:<\/p>\n In order to help mentor the next generation of Asian-American poets, Kundiman is sponsoring an annual Poetry Retreat at The University of Virginia. During the Retreat, nationally renowned Asian American poets will conduct workshops with fellows. Readings, writing circles and informal social gatherings will also be scheduled. Through this Retreat, Kundiman hopes to provide a safe and instructive environment that identifies and addresses the unique challenges faced by emerging Asian American poets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Kundiman, modeled after the highly successful organization Cave Canem<\/a>, is one of the foremost proponents of Asian American poetry in the nation. To be accepted as a Kundiman Fellow (and thus to participate in the retreat) is to be inducted into a highly respected community of talented Asian American poets. Kundiman Fellows speak passionately about the experiences they’ve had at the retreat, and continue to engage with and speak up for one another’s work long after the summer is over. This year’s five-day retreat has places for eight students<\/strong> and will feature faculty members Regie Cabico<\/strong>, Tan Lin<\/strong>, and Paisley Rekdal<\/a><\/strong>. Tuition is $350<\/strong> (room and board free to accepted Fellows). If you are an emerging Asian American poet, this is an opportunity for which you should definitely apply.<\/p>\n * * *<\/p>\n What:<\/strong> Write to Resist Write to Resist bills itself as:<\/p>\n “a writing workshop series for high school age Asian American young women who are looking for a space where they can use writing as a tool to talk about issues of violence. It’s an opportunity for those who are interested in both writing and talking about issues of violence to be in a supportive space to write, read, discuss, play, and engage in activities that will open up deep investigations into the role violence plays in our everyday lives, and what we can do to actively challenge it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This free<\/strong> workshop series looks to be an incredible opportunity for young women.\u00a0 According to the Write to Resist<\/a> web site, participants will work together on creating a zine publication, and will culminate the series with a performance showcase of their work.\u00a0 If you are a young Asian American woman going to high school in NYC (or know of someone who might be interested), please do consider filling out the application<\/a> (which is more of a questionnaire).\u00a0\u00a0 No prior experience is necessary.\u00a0 To quote the web site, “All that Write to Resist requires is that you come in with an open mind, a willingness to discuss some hard topics, and a creative spirit that is ready not only to develop one’s own work, but to support others as well!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here at LR, we value community as a space for growth and artistic exploration.\u00a0 The mentorship that we receive when we work with older writers, and the camaraderie we experience when working with our peers can both be particularly important in encouraging us to push forward with our strengths and in challenging us to reach […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[15],"tags":[188,29,43,44,189],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lanternreview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/823"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lanternreview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lanternreview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lanternreview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lanternreview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=823"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.lanternreview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/823\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":908,"href":"https:\/\/www.lanternreview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/823\/revisions\/908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lanternreview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lanternreview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lanternreview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
