About the Event
Most of us are here on the planet because our parents made love. And since lovemaking is so common, why are so many of us uncomfortable about writing about sex? In this workshop, we will acknowledge writing the sex poem as a necessary Rite of Passage for every poet. We will study both popular and obscure sex poems, and analyze their successes and failures.
