Join Shadowbanned Press for an evening of politica...Join Shadowbanned Press for an evening of political education, creative practice, and collective reflection exploring the Black Radical Tradition—the histories, movements, and revolutionary practices that have shaped struggles for liberation and community survival.
The evening will begin with a short teach-in highlighting lesser-known moments of resistance, revolutionary organizing, labor movements, revolts, and mutual aid initiatives, while examining how these histories have been obscured through repression, erasure, and co-optation.
Following the teach-in, participants will take part in a zine-making workshop, using writing, collage, and visual art to respond to the histories explored together and reflect on what the Black Radical Tradition means in the present.
The event celebrates the release of Artifacts of the Black Radical Tradition (1791–1970s), an art book from Shadowbanned Press that brings together archival materials and visual histories documenting radical Black struggle and political imagination.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event, with 50% of book sales benefiting GrowHouse.
Come learn, make, and collectively imagine what these histories can teach us about building a more liberated future.
2026 Blaney Lecture: Poetry, Movies, and Identity with John Yau

In the 2026 Blaney Lecture, “Poetry, Movies, and I...In the 2026 Blaney Lecture, “Poetry, Movies, and Identity,” poet, art critic, and writer John Yau considers the overlapping worlds of poetry and film and the relationship between the aesthetic and the ethical.
Boris Karloff played between 170 and 200 characters in a career that spanned five decades, including Frankenstein, Dr. Fu Manchu, the aging horror film star Byron Orlok, and the voice of the Grinch and narrator in the classic animated film How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966). In his poem “Ave Maria,” Frank O’Hara characterized movies as “some glamorous country.” French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard famously connected photography, cinema, and ideas of truth. Yet no Chinese actor ever played Dr. Fu Manchu, while Asian American actors frequently appeared in secondary roles.
Drawing these histories together, Yau explores their collisions in poetry and film. What is the relationship between the aesthetic and the ethical? How can poets and artists connect the two without becoming didactic?

An all-levels generative virtual workshop with poet Alafia Nicole Sessions!
In this workshop we will explore rituals, their structures, meanings and how we might amplify or interrupt them with poetic devices. Ritual can occur at the site of the body or as a container for community connection or even as a habit of the state. We might call ritual a type of social form for human beings. Ritual, like poetry, inherently lends itself to pattern and repetition. How does ritual show up in an ode poem? How to write the consequences of violence as ritual? Looking at poems by R.A. Villanueva, Angel Nafis, Tanaya Winder, Lucille Clifton and more, we’ll also examine the practice of “deep reading” a text as ritual.
About the Instructor: Alafia Nicole Sessions is a black poet, writer and mother living in Atlanta. She currently works as an educator, actress, herbalist and birthworker. Alafia’s debut poetry collection, Nine Drops of Turpentine, was chosen by Victoria Chang as the winner of the Georgia Poetry Prize, and will be published by University of Georgia Press in March 2027. Alafia is the recipient of awards and fellowships from Cave Canem, Yaddo, The Watering Hole, Sustainable Arts Foundation, U-Cross, Georgia Writers Association and Barbara Deming Memorial Fund. She was selected by Evie Shockley as the winner of the Furious Flower Prize. Alafia was nominated for a Pushcart Prize and thrice nominated for Best New Poets. She also received the Howard Moss Residency in Poetry. Nine Drops of Turpentine was selected as a finalist for the Agnes Lynch Starrett Prize and the Jake Adam York Prize.
**This workshop will take place on Zoom.**

The agenda:
- Quick intros to kick things off
- A few words about BKLYN Commons and its community
- Open floor for mingling and shared problem-solving
- Space for organizers to share the puzzles they’re working on with their own events — there’s almost always someone who’s already puzzled through the same thing

An all-levels generative virtual workshop with poet Hazem Fahmy!
We know the realm of history to be anything but neutral, but what can poetry bring to the supposedly factual and settled? How can historical material, including the seemingly mundane and bureaucratic, influence poetic craft and vision? We'll navigate these questions together using the work of poets like Solmaz Sharif, Claire Schwartz, Layli Long-Soldier, and Jan-Henry Gray.
About the Instructor: Hazem Fahmy is an Egyptian writer and critic based in Brooklyn. A PhD candidate in Middle Eastern Studies at Columbia University, he is the author of three chapbooks: Red//Jild//Prayer (2017) from Diode Editions, Waiting for Frank Ocean in Cairo (2022) from Half-Mystic Press, and At the Gates (2023) from Akashik Books’ New-Generation African Poets series. A Kundiman and Watering Hole Fellow, his writing has appeared, or is forthcoming in TThe Boston Review, Prairie Schooner, Mubi Notebook, Reverse Shot, and Mizna.

An all-levels generative virtual workshop with poet Tess Taylor!
Poems often begin in other poems, texts in other texts. In this 75 minute class we'll ask how to read deeply but also generatively, finding new pathways to our own poems in the texts we love and argue with. Come prepared with a short favorite poem and a willingness to take risks, and be ready, to, as TS Eliot once put it-- "steal like an artist."
About the Instructor: Tess Taylor is the author of five poetry collections, including The Misremembered World, The Forage House, Last West: Roadsongs for Dorothea Lange, Rift Zone (named a 2020 Boston Globe best book), and Work & Days (a 2016 NY Times best poetry book). Her work as a cultural critic appears in Harper’s Magazine, The Atlantic, CNN, The New York Times, and more. She has taught widely, from UC Berkeley to Queen’s University in Belfast, and served as on air poetry reviewer for NPR’s All Things Considered for over a decade. She recently published her first full-length poetry anthology, Leaning Toward Light: Poems for Gardens and the Hands that Tend Them, a collection of contemporary gardening poems for an era of climate crisis. A staged adaptation of her book of poems about Dorothea Lange launched at the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art in 2025. Her next book, Come Bite, will be published in 2027. She lives and gardens just outside Berkeley, California.
**This workshop will take place on Zoom.**

When future generations look to the past for guidance through turbulent times, what will they have from us? How do we use the benefits of technology to keep each other close, without feeding everything we have to Big Tech?
Join a collective of thinkers, scholars, makers, doers, and movement people for a day of workshops and celebration centered on the trickster’s role in making (and keeping!) art, histories, and archives in hard times. Then, stay later for a fête DJ'd by Crates of the Ancestors, a Brooklyn-based artist focused on Black music, publications, records, books, and ephemera.
Day-long program will include food and good vibes. Come for some or all of it!

Too Fat for China follows Phoebe Potts, comic storyteller and professional Jew, as she tries, fails and eventually succeeds to adopt a baby. After a US adoption goes horribly wrong, Potts finds herself surprised, disgusted and ultimately resigned to the role she plays as a middle-class white lady in the business of adopting babies in the U.S. and internationally. Potts’ tragicomic journey is about looking for more love, more life and more family and will do anything to get it, including having her morals and values fold in on themselves. For ages 12 and up.

A free generative virtual workshop for BIPOC Writers with poet Taylor Byas!
Ekphrasis is an incredible tool that allows us to temporarily forget ourselves and step out of our comfort zones. It can make the empty page less daunting, as the starting point of the visual art often gives us an unexpected door into the poem. This class aims to equip participants with different approaches to responding to visual art, with each approach teasing out a different perspective or voice, and demonstrating the multiplicity of how we might write about one thing. We will look at ekphrastic samples, then conduct writing exercises based on a piece of art of each participant's choosing.
About the instructor: Dr. Taylor Byas, Ph.D. is a Black Chicago native currently living in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she is a Features Editor for The Rumpus, an Editorial Advisor for Jackleg Press, a member of the Beloit Poetry Journal Editorial Board, and a Poetry Editor-at-Large for Texas Review Press. Her debut full-length, I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times from Soft Skull Press, won the 2023 Maya Angelou Book Award, the 2023 Chicago Review of Books Award in Poetry, and the 2024 Ohioana Book Award in Poetry. Her second full-length, Resting Bitch Face (2025), is a September pick for Roxane Gay’s Audacious Book Club. She is also a coeditor of The Southern Poetry Anthology, Vol. X: Alabama, from Texas Review Press, and Poemhood: Our Black Revival, a YA anthology from HarperCollins. She is represented by Noah Grey Rosenzweig at Triangle House Literary.

An all-levels generative virtual workshop with poet Moriana Delgado!
This workshop explores the poem as a built space—an architecture of feeling, structure, and intention. We will consider how poets use shape to construct meaning, much like architects design burial pyramids, palace complexes, or house stairs. By examining how a poem creates movement and verticality, participants will develop a deeper understanding of form as both material and metaphor. Participants will also be provided prompts that invite them to design and “confect” their own poems—stanzas like rooms, arranging lines like beams, and experimenting with scaffolds of mood and syntax.
About the Instructor: Moriana Delgado is a writer from Mexico City. She is the author of the poetry collection Peces de pelea (Libros UNAM, 2022) and the chapbook all blue awnings (If a Leaf Falls Press, 2024). A graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, she is currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Illinois Chicago. Her poems have appeared in Poetry Foundation, The Poetry Review, Nightboat, and elsewhere.
**This workshop will take place on Zoom.**

Pangea Dance Collective Announces PANGEA: UNLEASHED, Featuring the Return of Carmilla and Eight World Premieres
NEW YORK, NY — Pangea Dance Collective will present its Fall 2026 season, PANGEA: UNLEASHED, October 10–11 at Peridance KnJ Theater in New York City. Featuring eight world-premiere works by company artists, the program will also mark the highly anticipated return of Carmilla, Pangea's signature full-length contemporary ballet.
Following its previous presentation, Carmilla returns to the stage as a centerpiece of Pangea's fall season. The work is Pangea Dance Collective's full-length contemporary ballet adaptation of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's classic gothic romance novella of the same name. It tells the story of forbidden love between Laura, a lonely noblewoman, and Carmilla, the vampiress who enters her life disguised as a companion.
An intimate exploration of queerness, femininity, and freedom, Pangea’s Carmilla reimagines the romance between Laura and Carmilla as one of mutual agency and empowerment. It employs the structure of a Romantic-era ballet to tell a contemporary story that will delight both new and longtime ballet enthusiasts.
Alongside Carmilla, PANGEA: UNLEASHED will feature eight world-premiere works created by Pangea company artists, showcasing the individual artistic voices and creative range of the dancers who make up the company.
For the first time, Pangea will present its fall season across two performances, expanding the opportunity for audiences to experience the company and its work.

The Spirit Game is a generative exercise of group divination. Participants will learn different divination skills and explore how to apply them to the poetic process. As a group, we will ask questions anonymously--to each other, to ourselves, to an omniscient being--and channel this omniscience to summon answers, solutions, and...poetry!
About the instructor: Bimbi, aka Angel Hubris, is an artist, writer, and performer living in Brooklyn, NY. They work with sound, video, sculpture, performance, and text, exploring belonging/displacement, identity, violence, gender/sexuality, the body politic, mysticism/occultism, dis/ability, and disobedience. They recently published a short story and reflection on violence called A Bird's Neck For Lunch, an adaptation of their sonic work DOG/GOD, which was broadcast via Montez Press Radio in 2023. Their poems and essays have been published in Petit Mort, Currant Jam Magazine, SHOTA, Layout Magazine, and No, Dear. They have performed at Performance Space New York, Pioneer Works, Recess Art, Text2Speech, and were a part of Performa 2025 for Pakui Hardware’s Spores.

An all-levels generative virtual workshop with poet Madeline Phillips!
We hold funerals for the dead, but where are the flowers, casseroles, and condolences when you lose your cat in the breakup? Loss is not limited to death: friendships end, divorces proceed, therapists ghost, dreams disappear — the list goes on. Everyone you know is grieving something, but most won’t mention it. How can we move on from what we cannot name? In this workshop, we’ll generate writing as a mourning ritual. We’ll learn new names for loss, and invent ones of our own. Poems by Elizabeth Bishop, Lisa Olstein, Nikki Giovanni, and Heather Christie will inspire us to create space to grieve what we didn’t know we could.
About the Instructor: Madeline Phillips (she/her) is an NYC-based poet and performer who overdresses for every occasion. She is currently working on two manuscripts: a collection of postcard poems and a crown of queer sonnets. Her work has been published in Battery Journal, the Marymount Review, Poetry Nook, and Bowery Gothic. Madeline is also active in the NYC zine community, with work featured in Poetry is a Team Sport, Dead End Zine, Bad Words Press, and Poetry is Gay. You can read more of her work, as well as an interview with Brooklyn Poets, where she was a two-time Yawp Poem of the Month winner and runner-up for Yawp Poem of the Year, at https://linktr.ee/reign_of_madeline. If you're a poet who likes karaoke, come to her open mic, Sing2Me Read2Me Baby, and introduce your poem with a song!

Join us at October 2026's Free Verse Virtual Works...Join us at October 2026's Free Verse Virtual Workshop for Immigrant Writers with Christine Imperial!
A free generative virtual workshop for immigrant writers with poet Christine Imperial!
In "Ekphrasis and the Other," WJT Mitchell asserts that "words can 'cite', but never 'sight' their objects." Building from this provocation, this workshop surveys the possibilities and complexities of ekphrastic poetry. We ask, what possibilities emerge when we push ekphrasis to its limits? Rather than simply framing ekphrasis as writing about art, we explore and practice ekphrasis as a mode of irreverent and intertextual translation wherein the failure of fidelity--the fissures between visual and verbal--becomes the potent site for possibility and creation. Irreverence is a key theme in our workshop that speaks to the ways poets, especially those from marginalized backgrounds, have used ekphrasis as a space to subvert and critique various forms of representational violence.
About the instructor: Christine Imperial is a Cultural Studies PhD candidate at UC Davis. Their first book Mistaken for an Empire was published in 2023 with Mad Creek Books as a Gournay Prize Winner. Their writing has been published or is forthcoming in Fence, The Kenyon Review, Meniscus, TLDTD, Poetry, among others. They hold an MFA in Creative Writing from CalArts.
PSNY's Free Verse Workshops are identity-centered, free virtual spaces designed to support marginalized writers, share resources, and build community.

An all-levels generative virtual workshop with poet Luciana Arbus-Scandiffio!
Have you ever read a poem that seemed to transform right in front of you? That you can’t wrap your head around? That seemed to (nearly) take flight? In this class, we’ll be looking at poems that ride on energy and surprise. Guided by the poet Dean Young’s mantra “we are making birds, not birdcages” we will study poems that contain a sense of alchemy– turning words into something alive. Poets discussed will likely include Diane Seuss, Kenneth Koch, Chelsey Minnis, Heather Christle, June Jordan, and Mark Leidner. A number of prompts will help us bring about our own wild poems.
About the Instructor: Luciana Arbus-Scandiffio was recently a Wallace Stegner Fellow in poetry at Stanford University. Her poems have appeared or are forthcoming in The Poetry Review, The Hopkins Review, Poetry Northwest, and Oxford Poetry. Luci has two lesbian moms and is originally from New Jersey.
**This workshop will take place on Zoom.**

Too Fat for China follows Phoebe Potts, comic storyteller and professional Jew, as she tries, fails and eventually succeeds to adopt a baby. After a US adoption goes horribly wrong, Potts finds herself surprised, disgusted and ultimately resigned to the role she plays as a middle-class white lady in the business of adopting babies in the U.S. and internationally. Potts’ tragicomic journey is about looking for more love, more life and more family and will do anything to get it, including having her morals and values fold in on themselves. For ages 12 and up.

PSNY Fall Virtual Poetry Intensive: Unreadable Poetry

Join The Poetry Society of New York for a limited-...Join The Poetry Society of New York for a limited-capacity, six-week poetry workshop.
When: October 28 – December 2, 2026 (Wednesdays, 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM EST)
Duration: 6 Weeks
Format: Virtual, via Zoom
Workshop Overview:
To call a piece of writing “unreadable” is to render a rather flexible, but usually damning, aesthetic judgement: too boring, too gruesome, badly written, too obscene, too dense; or in a more literal sense unable to be read, for the words therein have no meaning, have wasted away to the point of illegibility, are visually cluttered, or are otherwise restricted or inaccessible. In all of these valences, unreadability is something the writer is meant to avoid, even if it means settling for being “merely” readable. But much of the history of experimental poetry has embraced unreadability as an incredibly generative domain of creative expression, formal innovation, and political resistance. In this six-week intensive, participants will read, respond to, and create poetry that purposefully plays with forms of unreadability.
We will engage with concrete/visual poetry, collage poetry, sound poetry, transgressive writing, digital poetry, nonsense poetry, and book arts. Examples include, but are not limited to, works by Aram Saroyan, Tracie Morris, David Melnick, Tan Lin, Douglas Kearney, and Ilse Garnier. Through assigned “readings,” writing exercises, and peer workshops, participants will challenge the very boundaries of what it means to read and write poetry.
About the Instructor:
Gabriel Ojeda-Sagué is a poet and scholar living in Chicago. He is most recently the author of Losing Miami (The Accomplices, 2019) and Madness (Nightboat Books, 2022), which was a finalist for the Publishing Triangle's Thom Gunn Award in Gay Poetry and the TS Eliot Foundation’s Four Quartets Prize. He is also co-editor of An Excess of Quiet: Selected Sketches by Gustavo Ojeda, 1979-1989. He is currently Humanities Teaching Fellow in English at the University of Chicago, where he works in the study of sexuality.
**This workshop will take place on Zoom over the course of 6 weeks.**

An all-levels generative virtual workshop with poet P.C. Verrone!
Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror are often seen as the realms of fiction, but there is a wide world of poetry within these genres. What makes a poem “speculative?” What can be gained by situating poetry within these genres? In this workshop, we will examine the forms, features, conventions, and diversity of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror poetry, reading poems by Marie Brennan, Josua Whitehead, Angela Liu, and others. We will generate work that celebrates the fantastic, uncanny, and futurist while exploring the unique doors that are opened by writing poetry within speculative genres.
About the Instructor: P.C. Verrone is the author of the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize longlisted debut RABBIT, FOX, TAR. His work has appeared in FIYAH, Nightmare, Permanent Record: Poetics Towards the Archive and multiple “best-of-the-year” anthologies. He has received the Otherwise Award, Bridport Prize, and Tin House Residency. He graduated from Harvard College and holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Rutgers University–Newark. He lives in Dallas with his husband and their dog, Apollo.

Masma Dream World is the experimental project led by Bhakta artist, music producer, butoh performer and sound therapist Devi Mambouka.
With roots in Gabon and Singapore, Mambouka is a child of the world. She recalls rainforest rituals and the presence of ghosts and spirits throughout her childhood in Gabon before immigrating to NYC.
Masma Dream World invokes , magic, and healing as a form of worship to the universal Dark Mother Kali in her latest album. Blending drone, bass, noise, percussion, and voice with the use of experimental electronics, field recordings, synthesizers and effects to create devotional soundscapes for deep listening. Trained in butoh for the past decade, Devi invites you to participate in cathartic ceremonies and sound-healing rituals.
The Human Dream Project is an art and performance project that takes recordings of humans describing their dreams and illustrates them using colorful handmade puppetry, mask, animation, and original music. The dreams are collected via The Human Dream Project Dream Hotline (1-844-DREAMS-0) where the dream recordings are collected and added to the Dream Archive. For their show at Stone Circle Theatre they will be presenting one of their new gonzo short-form sets in advance of their 2027 tour!
‘Nguento combines modular synthesis with folk percussion, accordion drones, song, and chant; meditating on the ancestors and considering an assimilation-free existence. The alchemy of ‘nguento derives its potency from homemade electronic instruments and Wes’ personal research into the songs, language, and folk traditions of his Southern Italian and French-Canadian ancestors. Field songs are reimagined and spells are cast in dialect. Simmo ‘nzurti.

Red Calendar is big-tech-free—no Meta, no AWS, no GCal. Each day's
events reorder when you refresh and each event, when expanded, has its own
sharable url. We are called Red Calendar because we wanted a color, and
this was the shortest (and cheapest) url we could find that incorporated
"calendar" and a color.
