Exploring the writing style of the first African American published poet, Phillis Wheatley, we will employ argumentation, imagery, and characterization to articulate our value... to ourselves and others.

The workshop will be led by international slam poetry champion, Anthony McPherson. McPherson's work incorporates various art forms, as well as a myriad of character impressions, to address race, art, and his own biracial identity. He's appeared on Button Poetry, in HuffPost, and Upworthy, and has reached over ten million views since his first viral poem, "All Lives Matter: 1800's Edition."
