Writing Joy & De(light) (starting at $45)


Why is it that we don’t write more often about joy and delight, gifts or blessings – how can we more easily access these moments? What themes/images do joy and delight work with or against in memorable writing? For those who celebrate the upcoming holidays, this can also be an opportunity to explore how your faith connects to joy or delight, particularly through the theme/image of light.

During this session, we will discuss poems and other short prose from writers such as Ross Gay/Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Chen Chen, Marie Howe, and others. Our aim will be to learn from and be inspired by their work, as well as freewrite from prompts to generate the beginnings of our own pieces. There will be time at the end for us to share our work with each other.

All levels of experience and all genres are welcome. This workshop builds upon the Writing Joy workshop offered at IWWG’s Summer 2024 conference. Both returning and new participants are encouraged to attend.



Angela Siew is a multilingual poet with an MFA from Emerson College. She is the recipient of fellowships and scholarships from the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference, Kenyon Review Writers Workshop and the City of Boston. A chapbook, Coming Home, is available from Cut Bank: https://angelasiew.com/books/
