Queering Objects is a poetry workshop hosted by poet Eric Yip (National Poetry Competition 2021 first prize) where participants will read works by queer Asian poets and translators, as well as engage in writing activities that recontextualize how we see the things around us.
There will be readings and discussions of poems from a queer perspective, and an interactive writing game where participants will all get a chance to write a poem by the end of the workshop.
