If you are interested in studying with me in a very focused capacity, now is your opportunity. I will be teaching the poetry workshop for the inaugural Pond Hill Writers Retreat. This workshop is named after Wild Geese by Mary Oliver because of the lines “Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,/ the world offers itself to your imagination,/“ come join me in seeing what the world offers to our imagination. Link in bio for more info and feel free to reach out with questions. Photo in the flyer by @mercedes_zapata

As part of our brand new Say Anything/Something community-based performance and workshop series, Inspired Word Café is thrilled to present a poetry workshop lead by local author and professor Jake Kennedy! This workshop invites writers at all stages and experience levels to engage in a learning and sharing environment. No registration necessary—spots are first come, first served! About the workshop: Would you like to make two—maybe three!—magical, brilliant, win-new-friends-quality, charming poems using a technique totally and shamelessly pirated from kids? If so, this is your dang workshop! All you need to bring is your chickenbrain... Jake will provide pencils and paper—said materials also "borrowed" from kids! Thanks, you rascals! About Jake Kennedy: “I like birds” and “I like bikes” were the opening lines of Jake Kennedy’s circa-1979 first-poem-ever… Now, sadly, Jake is 52 and uses words like “assiduous” and “existential” so, like, what a falling off there was, eh? The point is, though, Jake still likes birds and Jake still likes bikes and he keeps trying to find the courage to say it over and over. Finally, other than bikes and birds Jake likes writer John Lent and he (Jake) was lucky enough to edit and introduce his (John’s) recent (2024!) selected poems entitled Molecular Cathedral. Jake will sell you a copy for free if, like, you totally like birds and bikes, too. Jake is the author of three collections of poetry: The Lateral (Snare Books), Apollinaire’s Speech to the War Medic (Book*hug), and Merz Structure No. 2 Burnt by Children at Play (Book*hug). His most recent chapbook—published by Gaspereau Press—is The Rublev Horse. The Alternator Centre is located in the Rotary Centre for the Arts and is wheelchair accessible. Bathrooms are gendered stalled washrooms, with a single, gender neutral and wheelchair accessible washroom available. Our programming is made possible by the City of Kelowna, the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies at UBC Okanagan, and the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art. We respectfully acknowledge that we live and work in the unceded, ancestral territory of the Syilx people. It is a privilege to be able to put on events as uninvited guests on their land.
