Decomposition Compositions Workshop

In this workshop, we will adapt the composting process to writing. We will begin by journaling, and through prompts and editing, reduce our writing to its elements. This reduced writing will be shared with our workshop neighbor to be responded to or expanded upon.

This process will be repeated several times, expanding and reducing, until we have bunches of poems that could never have happened without the interconnection–just like compost! The final poems will be printed on stickers and shared on the compost collection pick-up bags at Miami Beach Botanical Garden and beyond.

The workshop will be followed by an optional dip in the ocean and beach gathering.

Beata Rikhter grew up in Miami, an immigrant from Eastern Europe. She attended Miami-Dade Public Magnet Schools, where she had the opportunity to study art and learn the value of public service.
