Writing Workshop with Damien Flores In-Person
Writing Narratives as Poems
Damien Flores’ workshop will focus on writing longer-form poems based on narrative and the Nuevomexicano storytelling tradition. We’ll look at some works from acclaimed New Mexican Writers and examine the history & evolution of these writing techniques while applying them to our own poems. Bring an open mind, a blank notebook, and your trusty pen! We’ll make our stories breathe.
Damien Flores, Albuquerque's 7th Poet Laureate, began writing poetry as a teen with aspirations of becoming a published writer. His dedication and talent has earned him the 2024 Chatter Fellowship, a NM Writer's Grant, and two NM Hispano Entertainer's Association Poet of the Year honors. He also received the UNM English Department's Lena Todd Creative Writing Award. Flores hosts the Spoken Word Hour on 89.9 KUNM-FM and has taught in Albuquerque for over 15 years.
