Grief Tending in Good Company: A Generative Poetry Workshop for Queer Grief

Through guided writing prompts and close readings of contemporary queer poets, we’ll reflect on themes of absence, longing, memory, and transformation. You’ll be invited to write from your own experience—whether personal, ancestral, or collective—with space for quiet reflection and optional sharing.

This space is for poets, journalers, and the grief-curious. Whether you're processing heartbreak, historical trauma, or the ache of living fully in a world that hasn't always made space for you—you are welcome here.

No prior writing experience is needed, just a willingness to listen inward and write from the heart.

Bring a notebook, a pen, and your tender courage. Let’s write our way through together.

She holds an MFA in Creative Writing (Poetry) from Eastern Washington University and a BA in Journalism and Documentary Studies from UW–Milwaukee. Her work spans poetry, film, and community ritual, often exploring themes of memory, embodiment, and the unseen layers of personal and collective experience.

With a background in both creative writing and ritual arts, she leads writing workshops that emphasize emotional depth, poetic form, and the healing potential of language. She believes in writing as a way to make meaning, build connection, and tend to grief with care and imagination.
