In a vibrant celebration of National Poetry Month, the dynamic duo behind the art collective Eat Off Art, Edreys and Alexa Wajed, spend three action-packed days immersed in poetry, art, creative expression and social responsibility at the Institute for the Humanities.
Today: This workshop invites participants into expressive, freeform creativity through guided exercises that nurture reflection and self-discovery. Open to poets of all levels—from beginners to experienced writers—it offers a welcoming space to explore your voice. Together, participants will craft affirmations and distill them into haiku and short poems—transforming personal insight into a heartfelt love letter to oneself.
