These free\, monthly workshops are held on the third Saturday of the month\, and offer writers of every genre and skill level an opportunity to learn\, experiment and develop their craft. We hope you’ll join us!\n\nNow more than ever\, poetry allows us to speak of our own experiences on our terms. Unlike prose-based memoir\, which is often preoccupied with the facts of an event\, or when things take place on a timeline\, the poetry of memory can instead focus on the feelings and senses of a memory’s architecture\, and the unique ways our memories connect to one another. \nIn this two-hour generative workshop\, we will study and discuss techniques used by a variety of poets who have written their own stories and experiences in interesting ways including Yusef Komunyakaa and Jenn Givhan. You will also draft one poem that experiments with sharing a memory or experience. \nAbout Lauren Brazeal Garza: \nLauren Brazeal Garza is the author of five books of poetry and fiction including her memoir-in-verse\, Gutter (YesYes Books\, 2018)\, which chronicles her homelessness as a teenager. She earned her M.F.A in creative writing from Bennington College\, and her Ph.D. in Literature from The University of Texas at Dallas. She teaches literature and creative writing at The University of Texas at Dallas. \n\n  \n  \nRSVP\n\n\n \n \n \n \n PhoneThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n How many in your party?(Required)12345678Zip Code(Required) \n \n \n \n Please Enter Your Home Zip Code URL:https://writersgarret.org/event/lyceum-series-lauren-brazeal-garza/ LOCATION:The Writer’s Garret\, 215 S.

Most times\, we’re so busy catering to others that we forget about the importance of prioritizing our own well-being\, which usually keeps us from being fully present for others when they need us most! This workshop is designed to highlight the need for intentional self-care routines that nurture our mental health\, while also offering suggestions on how to consistently implement practices that cater to your personal self-love and healing journey. Showing up as your authentic self\, and preventing burnout is essential to ensuring you don’t deplete your energy reserves while caring for others. \nIt’s time to show up for YOU!

Lyrik is a well-known community supporter and voice\, who continues to make the world around her a better place\, by simply spreading love & light in every room that she enters.  Her motto is: “If you’re not healing\, you’re not growing\, and if you’re not growing\, you’re dying.” Her goal is to remind the world that there is always light\, even during the tough and dark times\, all you have to do is go within\, and find it!
