Write with us at the Substation! www.diversespoetry.com/aboutsubstationArt pushes a narrative that success is based on talent, ability, and skill. How true are these factors, though, in determining an artist's ability to win awards, gain recognition, and even begin to create a successful art business? What gets demonstrated time and time again is that art, in fact, is not based on meritocracy. But if skill and talent don't play a role in success in art, what does? *Welcome to Arts & Offers, the video podcast dedicated to the intersection between art, poetry, and business.

This is taken from a Craft Write poetry workshop around writing poetry and word choice, connotation, and denotation led by facilitator Denise R. Ervin! Every Word Must Conjure is a 2-hour generative writing workshop that dives into the differences between denotation and connotation in poetry. Specifically, the importance of word choice in conveying not only meaning, but ideas and images in an intentional way. Participants will have the chance to explore contemporary writing by poets of color, discussing and dissecting the syntax of each, and have time to generate new work in response to a prompt along with the opportunity to share.Denise R. Ervin is a creative writer hewn from the streets, classrooms, and boardrooms of Detroit. She has spent more than two decades as a teaching artist, performing poetry around the country, and leading workshops for the likes of Literary Cleveland and the University of Michigan. Her work has been published or is forthcoming in Vagabond City Lit, Harbinger Asylum, Third Wednesday Magazine, and others. She is a TWH (The Watering Hole) Graduate Fellow, an Obsidian Foundation Fellow, and a semifinalist for America’s Next Great Author. When she's not serving as a Program Manager for a local youth writing organization, Denise is working on several novel projects and her first full-length poetry manuscript, tentatively titled Palimpsest.The workshop is part of Craft Write, workshops around poetry techniques.

Join diVERSES in conversation with Dr. Kristen Piering, a NY State Licensed Clinical Psychologist, as well as a Certified School Psychologist, to dive into fundamental information poets and artists need to consider when it comes to managing mental health, especially as poetry requires deep pushes and exploration into the past, some of which may have been difficult and traumatizing.For more on Dr. Piering's work as a psychologist and insight-oriented talk therapy, visit https://www.drkristenpiering.com/#diverses #poetry #mentalheatlh
