If there is anything that I have come to adopt in my workshopping practice is an anti-racist model and radical inclusivity. Finding ways to talk about our work that does not exclude voices, but elevates them. Workshopping in a way that strengthens the poem while also creating a stronger community and space for individual needs. CMarie Fuhrman
