Explore the field of poetry from its most basic elements--words, silence, image, music, story, structure--to discover the subtle ways it transforms our lives. Starting with the question, "what sensations does the poem bring up in you?" in each meeting we'll read and discuss model poems, and experiment with various techniques and strategies. At the following meeting we'll bring our own poems, which will be examined with the same respect and depth as the models. By the end of the workshop, participants will have completed five poems and gained an understanding of what sensations they create as poets. Bring a poem or something else you've written with which to introduce yourself at the first meeting.
