Poetry Xfit isn’t about throwing tires or heavy ropes, but the idea of confusing our muscles is the same.

These monthly generative workshops will give you prompts, rules, obstructions, and more to write three poems in two hours. Writers will write together for thirty minutes, be invited to share new work, and then given a new set of prompts. The idea isn’t that we are writing perfect final drafts, but instead creating clay that can then be edited and crafted later.

These events are held from 2-4PM EST on the last Sunday of every month. All events are free and hosted via Zoom, which can be accessed at tiny.utk.edu/sundress.

Prose writers are also welcome to attend!
