The Poetry of Food with Eddie Vega

Register for this class here!

Food is much more than sustenance–it’s family recipes, friend-filled reunions, and debates over who makes it best, who made it right, and why ketchup can’t be spread on tamales! Most importantly, food is culture. This workshop will explore all this and more as participants write about the dishes, meals, and snacks that have impacted their palate and lives.

Workshop participants will leave with the following:

– Suggestions on how to capture the essence and meaning of food

– Knowledge of and experience with writing in different poetic forms

– Understanding of how personal history and culture influence how we perceive food
