Writing Workshop – Women's Protest Poetry
Weather · Tel Aviv
A five-session poetry-writing workshop with Orit Tzemach and Maki Hacham Ne'eman, on Tuesdays starting November 17, 2026, at the Yossi Banai Community Center.
5 Poetry-Writing Sessions with Orit Tzemach and Maki Hacham Ne’eman
You are invited to an intimate and creative space for writing, reading, and reflection. Each week, we will read exposed and beautiful texts rooted in women’s experiences, get to know the great poets of confessional poetry and their ways of expressing protest by exploring concepts such as motherhood, the body and sexuality, relationships, family, love, and hidden desires, and experiment with various surprising writing techniques.
The workshop is suitable for poets and poetry writers, as well as for beginners.
Each participant receives personal attention. We encourage participants to send us poems for editing—this is our gift in this workshop!
And there are very moving, heartwarming results.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, November 17, at 7:30 p.m., by the library.
