El Mashup:
A hybrid creative writing and media arts workshop for Latinx youth

โ€œDora, thank you so much for your continuous support and feedback. I think I am walking out of this class with a different perspective on form and life, and thank you so much for all the wisdom you have imparted on me. I am a better poet because of you. โ€œ

Dora Prietoโ€™s feedback throughout the course inspired and motivated me. Her comments on my work prompted me to think deeply about the decisions I made in my writing, the ways I could release myself from my perfectionism, and the connection between poetry and life as a student. I looked forward to attending her seminars each week, as she always encouraged me and my peers to leave our comfort zones and step into a place of vulnerable exploration.
