The Body Electric
TBE is an inclusive, welcoming poetry group at Penn. Come read, write, and workshop poetry with us on Wednesdays from 8-9pm at Kelly Writers House!
We're a new inclusive and creative poetry community on campus. We'll be running workshops every other week that range from peer-editing to collaborating to prompted writing sessions. Once a month, we'll have poetry-appreciation gatherings where members can share their own work or simply poems they love and eat desserts. We'll also go on poetry-related trips into Philadelphia and cover the campus in poetry with our poster campaigns.
