salt lines

so i went to the salt lines workshop since i missed the christain bok one, and it was pretty cool. we listened to each of the poets read some poetry and then we all discussed our feelings about the poems, and other feeligns that they brought up. one of my favorites was a poem one of the speakers read related her inner feminist, she called FIM, to knitting and the progression of hte poem made knitting seem like a common, almost mandatory, female activity at first and in the end it became a unique hobby, and somehow it was badass. it was cool to discuss the concepts of sexuality and gender identity with all of the speakers and each other. after each short discussion we got to do a free write session, being a workshop, and racked up about 5-6 writings total. we were able to share one or two at the end and get everyone, especially the presenters, feedback on our writings. it was ncie to go to a workshop the focused on a specific topic, rather than style of writing because all the feedback and thoughts were put to use over and over in each free writing session
