Opening the Field: Introduction to Poetry (8 sessions)

Opening the Field: Introduction to Poetry (8 sessions)

Presented by The Writer's Center at The Writer's Center

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, and bring back at the following meeting 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 5 poems and gained an understanding of what sensations they can create as poets. Bring to the first meeting a poem or something else you've written with which to introduce yourself. (No meetings Oct. 16 & 23.)
