The poetic is beyond all hierarchy. It abolishes all supremacies. It is a direct entry of the highest expression that all oppression seeks to bury in silence.
Join Angelic Goldsky in an investigation of how the Metaphor was invented to separate the Truth from the Magical. Poets in this workshop transcend standardized forms, objectification, typification into Emotions as Higher Knowledge. Poets deepen their practice in utilizing form and all concrete objects, towards a sacred geometric and formulaic expression — that resists its own prescription at birth.
God is not a Metaphor will take place over two Zoom sessions, the first on Monday August 16th, from 4-8 pm PDT, with a followup second workshop on Monday August 23rd, from 4-6pm PDT.

Angelic Goldsky is a Russian-Jewish trans-gender, queer poet, writer and performance artist. Angelic sees their work as the work of a poetry excavator. They have been honoured to dig up words, and transmute them across Turtle Island and Europe, unearthing what was once buried. They have been published in Frontier Poetry and SAD Mag among other journals, and serve on the editorial board of the Room Magazine. Goldsky has developed programs in partnership with The Museum of Anthropology, Jewish Queer Trans Vancouver and Everybody Is In Downtown Eastside, working in community cohesion through poetry, art and media. They love creating arts space where everyone can be celebrated and honoured in full spectrum.
