My Desiring Unsaid: Writers’ Room #2 with Henry Broome

​A memoir/essay workshop on writing desire through keepsake gifting, confessional correspondences, book swapping and other votive exchanges, searching out uncorrelate emotions that exists in excess of material fact and physical attachment, when words become the cauls of the unsaid and sweat-stuck flesh won’t provide final proof.

Henry Broome, our writer-in-residence, leads a second workshop of writing exercises, readings and discussion on desire, non-attainment and endlessly desiring desire.

​Readings will include passages from the following texts:

​Iʼm very into you by Kathy Acker & McKenzie Wark
Melvilleʼs Marginalia by Susan Howe
Rapture by Carol Ann Duffy
Ada or Ardor by Vladimir Nabokov

​Attendees from the first workshop are encouraged to join, as well as newcomers.

​Following the workshop, we'll host a feedback session on Sunday, 24th May during our Sunday Salon at Good Company. More details and RSVP for the Salon can be found here.
