grounding techniques: connection

AQ Hanna

In her workshop, AQ Hanna examines unconditional expressions within poetry, creating a space to reveal how language can uncover the candor acknowledgments of connection, what tethers us to ourselves, and what grounds us when unmoored. Within this workshop, writers will focus on connection while expressing what keeps us intact during sweeping years. Exercises will be tailored towards experiencing connections, be it with ourselves or other people, and the human condition through poetry. Writers will articulate their own relations to the physical world to give these bonds ontologies, and explore the greater interconnectedness of their intricate lives.

AQ Hanna is a burgeoning poet and university student in the meantime. She currently attends East Tennessee State University as a Bert C. Bach Fine & Performing Arts Scholar for creative writing. Her words tame light and the human condition; they appear/are forthcoming in Eunoia Review, Emerge Literary Journal, Yuzu Press, The Aurora Journal, and more. Currently, she also writes for Supercut Magazine based in the brilliant city of Chattanooga, TN. She covets friends with her world-famous spaghetti, and can usually be found pottering around cafes with couches.
