Poetry can be a sacred container for grief. In this generative 3 hour session, we will experiment with different strategies for expressing grief through reading, discussing, sharing, and writing poetry. While not a replacement for professional counseling, students in this course will have the opportunity to engage with poetic forms around themes of grief and loss.
This virtual session will not be recorded.
Instructor: Sham-e-Ali Nayeem is an interdisciplinary artist, musician, screenwriter and poet. She has two albums, ‘City of Pearls’ (2019) and ‘Moti Ka Sheher’ (2023), featuring sonic interpretations of her poetry, ranging from classical rabab to self composed electronica.
