A Horse, Not Jumping: On Refusals with Victoria Adukwei Bulley

In collaboration with 87press, poet, writer, and artist Victoria Adukwei Bulley will be running an online poetry workshop on the theme of refusal.

The workshop will look into Palestinian poet Fady Joudah’s recent collection, […] (Out-Spoken Press, 2024), alongside Lola Olufemi’s text ‘Notes on Refusal’. Participants are encouraged to experiment with techniques including acts of (un)naming, (re)definition, blackout, and redaction as a means of understanding how refusal works as a poetics on the page, as well as how writing calls beyond itself towards social action.

All fees go to the poet.
