SUMMARY:POETRY WRITING WORKSHOP Kim Dower: "For Mothers and Anyone Who’s Ever Had a Mother Figure in their Life"
DESCRIPTION:This 90 minute poetry workshop is for poets and non-poets alike – for anyone who’d love to know how to plant the seeds for poems to grow. \nFrom the instructor: “Our time together will provide an opportunity to mine our memories and experiences\, our hearts and feelings and potentially awaken new\, startling poems. We will explore the rich soil of our childhoods – the places\, and emotions from our past and examine how memory can inform and affect our writing.  After hearing a prompt\, we will dive into ‘fever writing’ or ‘automatic writing\,’ and witness the magic we create!  With Mother’s Day coming up\, we will hear prompts that will inspire us to write our own poems – to and about our mothers and mother figures\, or just for gifts to ourselves!  Bring nothing but a pad and your favorite pen!” \nPLEASE NOTE:\nFollowing the workshop\, Kim will be sharing work from her fifth collection\, I Wore This Dress Today for You\, Mom\, published by Red Hen Press. 7PM TUESDAY\, APRIL 26\nA limited number of free tickets are available.

SUMMARY:AUTHOR EVENT Kim Dower: I Wore This Dress Today For You\, Mom
DESCRIPTION:A limited number of free tickets are available. You can also support Changing Hands by purchasing the book via Eventbrite below. Thank you! \nKim Dover will be sharing work from her fifth collection\, I Wore This Dress Today for You\, Mom. \nABOUT THE LIVE EVENT \n\nWe’re limiting attendance to allow for social distancing\, so registration via Eventbrite is required for admission.\nMasks are required.\n\nABOUT THE BOOK \nKim Dower’s poetry has been described by the Los Angeles Times as “sensual and evocative . . . seamlessly combining humor and heartache\,” and by O Magazine as “unexpected and sublime.” Acclaimed for combining the accessible and profound\, her poems about motherhood are some of her most moving and disarmingly candid. I Wore This Dress Today for You\, Mom is an anthology of her poems on being a mother–childbirth to empty nest–as well as being a daughter with all the teenaged messiness\, drama and conflict\, to finally caring for one’s mother suffering from dementia. Culled from her four collections as well as a selection of new work\, these poems\, heartbreaking\, funny\, surprising\, and touching\, explore the quirky\, unexpected observations\, and bittersweet moments mothers and daughters share. These evocative poems do not glorify mothers\, but rather look under the hood of motherhood and explore the deep crevices and emotions of these impenetrable relationships: the love\, despair\, joy\, humor and gratitude that fills our lives. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nKim Dower\, City Poet Laureate of West Hollywood (October 2016 – October 2018)\, has published four collections of poetry\, all with Red Hen Press: Air Kissing on Mars\, described by the Los Angeles Times as\, “sensual and evocative . . . seamlessly combining humor and heartache\,” Slice of Moon\, called “unexpected and sublime\,” by “O” magazine\, Last Train to the Missing Planet\, “poems that speak about the grey space between tragedy and tenderness\, memory and loss\, fragility and perseverance\,” said Richard Blanco\, and Sunbathing on Tyrone Power’s Grave\, winner of the 2020 Independent Publishers Book Award Gold Medal for Poetry. Nominated for five Pushcart Prizes\, Kim’s work has been featured in numerous literary journals including Plume\, Ploughshares\, Rattle\, The James Dickey Review\, Garrison Keillor’s “The Writer’s Almanac\,” and Ted Kooser’s “American Life in Poetry.” Her poems are included in several anthologies\, notably\, Wide Awake: Poets of Los Angeles and Beyond\, (Beyond Baroque Books/Pacific Coast Poetry Series\,) and Coiled Serpent: Poets Arising from the Cultural Quakes & Shifts of Los Angeles\, (Tia Chucha Press.)
