SUMMARY:How to Love the World: A workshop
DESCRIPTION:On any given day\, we have more cause to feel grief\, loss\, despair\, and rage than love. Such is the state of the world. Yet\, if love is one of the last frontiers of humanity\, can we grow to love the world? \nJoin us on November 23rd at 2pm-3.30pm in The Community Works for this exclusive one-off workshop where we will grow poems around loving the world despite everything that is wrong with it. We will look for and create language that can hold our wonder and ecstasy at the ‘bastard beauty’ of the world. \nWe will read and workshop some poems by poets Mark Nepo\, Ross Gay\, William Wordsworth\, Ada Limon\, Linda Gregg\, the Psalmist of Psalm 19\,  and others to explore ways of approaching the world with love in the form of a poem. \nThis workshop will be run by Nikita Arora. Nikita is a poet and writer who often explores human-nonhuman relationships in her work. Her writings have appeared in The Guardian\, Aeon\, Bad Lilies\, BBC Radio 6\, Punjabi Tribune and others. She was longlisted for the Nan Shepherd Prize for Nature Writing. She is also the author of Dakhalandazi\, a Punjabi essay collection on gender-based violence. She is a historian by training and is currently finishing her DPhil in History at Oxford University. \nEntry is free\, but registration is required here. Just bring yourself\, a pen and paper! All other materials will be provided. \nThe Oxford Poetry Library is an accessible space but please do contact us in advance if you have specific requirements. You can email us about this or with any questions about the workshop at oxfordpoetrylibary@gmail.com
