About the event
How can poetry hold the experience of crossing borders, loving against the grain, and speaking in more than one tongue? In this online workshop, poet, translator, and teacher Leo Boix—author of Southernmost: Sonnets (Chatto & Windus, 2025) and editor of Hemisferio Cuir: An Anthology of Young Queer Latin American Poets—invites participants to explore the intersections of queerness and migration through language.
Drawing inspiration from Boix’s latest book, Southernmost: Sonnets, we will experiment with form, code-switching, and the richness of multiple languages to write poems that challenge borders, open new intimacies, and reimagine belonging. Participants will engage with readings, prompts, and discussions that celebrate hybridity, play, and resistance.
Whether you are writing in English, Spanish, or any language you call home, this workshop is an invitation to expand your poetic practice and discover the liberating power of multilingual queer poetics.
