Poetry of First Date Impressions - Queer Craft Workshop Series
Sponsored by: Rainbow Arts Collective

First impressions are fun to observe for their embodiment of awkwardness, the effect of imagery of first sights, and the setting of location that could either help or hurt a first meeting. This can especially be true in first date impressions whether you have experienced them, know you’re about to experience them, or heard of a person’s Bumble/Tinder/Hinge related befuddlement. This goes for romantic and platonic dates.

Maya Williams will be using poems from their second collection Refused a Second Date, Khadijah Queen’s I’m So Fine, and Chen Chen’s Your Emergency Contact Has Experienced an Emergency to encourage participants to write and discuss the poetic devices of displaying first date impressions."

This workshop is taught by Maya Williams. This workshop is on a sliding scale $0-$25 per participant, which goes directly to our teaching artist.
