Events' Realm

Our October 31st fellowship asks that we engage with water, moving into poems that house us there and using those to create new work.

Our featured poet is Seattle-based writer Jourdan Imani Keith, whose own engagement with writing around water forms the centre of much of her work.as an activist as well as her movement through the world.

Jourdan Imani Keith is a poet, playwright, essayist, lecturer and storyteller. A contributing writer for Orion Magazine and Sierra Magazine, her environmental memoir Tugging at the Web  is forthcoming from University of Washington Press in 2018. 

A performer in the Griot tradition, she keeps the culture and history of marginalized people alive through stories of the land. Keith's TEDx Talk "Your Body of Water"is the theme for King County's 2016-2018 Poetry on Buses program.  Her essays, "Desegregating Wilderness" and " At Risk" were both chosen for the 2015 Best American Science and Nature Writing Anthology (Houghton Mifflin). 

Features:
- Open Mic & Discussion/Analysis Segment
- Feature poet: Jourdan Imani Keith

Our monthly fellowships are live work-spaces for poets to craft, share, and engage in frank, constructive discussions, with the aim of improving upon their writing.
