ALL
Summary:
This Lunchtime Bite is dedicated to all things poems, poetry and verse. Whether you’re terrified of line breaks and experimentation or looking for ways to reinvigorate your practice, we’ll be thinking through poetry as a space of experimentation, constraint and possibility, where ‘failure’ can be the starting point for something new. The session will cap with a 15-20 minute Q&A where all questions, anxieties and curiosities are most welcome!Details
This workshop will take place online. Detailed instructions for participation will be provided.
You will Learn:
How poetry is distinctly different to prose forms
How thinking about poetry as the breakdown or refusal of strict prose can be a source of inspiration for your work
How compression of form, grammar and syntax can produce concentrated emotions in your reader
How experimentation and working towards ‘failure’ can be the starting point for your best work
How to approach editing (solo, in a workshop setting or with an editor) as an opportunity to grow your craft
