Join us for the third in our series of processing the cancer experience through creative writing. Poet Hadara Ben-Nadav is known for her unique blackout poetry. She can take a document, artfully remove the majority of the words, and create an entirely new piece. By taking something scary and overwhelming, such as an article about cancer, and removing the majority of the words, we can reveal something empowering hidden in the larger story.
We'll provide several written pieces to work with, or feel free to bring your own.
Questions? Contact Melissa Rosen.
