A Sense of Self
Presenter: Joaquín Zihuatanejo
Date and Time: Tuesday, March 7, 2023 | 6–7:30 p.m. MST
Location: Online
In this interactive workshop, award-winning poet and teacher Joaquín Zihuatanejo challenges workshop attendees to look beyond the perceptions of those viewing us from the outside. He asks us to dig deep to see what it is to be an effective scholar and human, viewing ourselves from within.
Through writing, reflecting, and sharing, we will examine through verse, dialogue, and discourse who we are as scholars and who we are as writers, thinkers, and humans. The techniques of self-expression and self-reflection that Joaquín will share with you are also practical applications that you can use with your own writing to explore your own sense of self in essay or poem form.
Come prepared to write, share, think, and feel. Joaquín will share a bit of his own journey as a poet and educator and even present a poem or two meant to inspire all those in attendance to press the pen down hard when they write a poem or a lesson plan, to leave an impression on things they were not intending to impress.
