[ About Innisfree Workshops ]
As one of just a few poetry-exclusive shops in the world, Innisfree Poetry in Boulder, Colorado acknowledges and appreciates its role as a nexus for the poetic community. For ten years, the physical café was a place where people could come together to explore and express; a place from which the artist could launch their work into the world. It was more than just selling coffee to poets: Innisfree is still deeply devoted to community partnerships, radical ideas, and to sustainable ideas and practices that will help keep this planet inhabitable in the long run.
Innisfree has a very rich history of visiting poets, dynamic readings, open mics & more. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Innisfree joined forces with collective.aporia to create the Innisfree Workshop Series.
In this ongoing series held both in-person (when appropriate) and online, you have the opportunity to work with some of the world’s most talented (not to mention coolest) poets, while supporting the recovery of a treasured small business.
You are invited to sign up for a single workshop or a series. For online participants, a downloadable Zoom link will be sent immediately after signing up, and videos will be made available for those who cannot make the live event. Videos will also be archived and available to rent or purchase once a workshop has ended.
Minimum donation $1 | Suggested $20
Bring what you can, come as you are.

[ Poet as Warrior As Ecology ]
returning 2021
[Rent or buy the past videos for this workshop here]
|
In this bi-weekly workshop facilitated by Swanee Astrid, we will examine writing that engages ecology through warrior-ship. From the contemporary field of eco-poetics; to the dokas of Morihei Ueshiba (the founder of aikido); to the enigmatic Eddas of the Nordic heritage; our own practices will emerge. We will cultivate a group project, to be decided by workshop participants, that then brings the writing into action. Local and distant participants will have a significant role to play in the execution of this process. The workshop will be celebrated at the end with a community reading.
