Let’s bring all of those sensory and sensual details to the page! This generative workshop will encourage participants to reflect on their favorite (or least favorite) foods and food memories. We’ll read both prose and poetry, and maybe even consider how film about food can serve (no pun intended!) as inspiration. You’ll walk away with inspiration and the beginning of some new work!

Alison Lubar teaches high school English by day and yoga by night. They are a queer, nonbinary, mixed-race femme whose life work (aside from wordsmithing) has evolved into bringing mindfulness practices, and sometimes even poetry, to young people. Their work has been nominated for both the Pushcart & Best of the Net, and they’re the author four chapbooks: Philosophers Know Nothing About Love (Thirty West Publishing House, 2022), queer feast (Bottlecap Press, 2022), sweet euphemism (CLASH!, Spring 2023), and it skips a generation (Stanchion, Fall 2023).
