Pride Poetry Workshop 

Resistance: LGBTQ Poetry as an Act of Defiance, led by Gregory Adams

Tuesday, May 19, 2026

6:30 pm - 8:30 pm


OPEN TO THE PUBLIC - FREE


In this workshop, participants will consider the forms that resistance to the heteronormative status quo—and the limits of their own thinking—can take. We will look at poems that not only assert a queer life, but also challenge those who view that life as “less than.” Open to writers of all levels of experience and backgrounds.

Gregory Adams is a founding member of Station-to-Station, a groundbreaking collective of Black LGBTQ performance poets and writers of the 1980s, and part of the creative team who produced the documentary Fierceness Served!: The ENIK Alley Coffeehouse (2021).


This project is supported in part by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts.


The Arts Club of Washington is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. located at 2017 I Street N.W., Washington D.C. 20006
