**Queer Poetry** From Sappho, to 20th century Renee Vivien, to contemporary poet Akwaeke Emezi, the Queer Poetry Workshop Series illustrates how queerness has always existed (and lesbians have yearned since the dawn of time). Participants will read, discuss, and write their own poem with an optional sharing. **Who's this for?** Everyone (18+)! **Emily Wollenberg** (she/her), a Newham-based writer, theatremaker, researcher, artist, and the creator of The Lesbians of Forest Gate. All levels of experience welcome. Bring a pen, a notebook, and a creative spirit!​
