Step 2: Register for “Revolutionary Prison Poetry” here

From Egypt to El Salvador to the so-called "US," captured revolutionaries have written poetry in defiance of the state's attempt to bury their spirit, and to connect with the communities they have been separated from.

In this workshop, we will read poems written in prison by militant organisers, write our own poems through prompts based off of theirs, and consider the lessons these prisoners offer us for building and sustaining movements with teeth.

We will end by writing messages of support to the current cohort of UK anti-zionist and abolitionist political prisoners that the british state has locked up in an attempt to scare us back into ineffective forms of protest. Let's build a movement worthy of their sacrifices! Free them all!

The workshop will be 2 hours, with a ten minute comfort break. There will be no obligation to read aloud what you have written on the workshop.
