Infuse your storytelling with poetry techniques and experiment with form to generate new work that pushes boundaries.
What is narrative verse? And how can an understanding of its unique technical and aesthetic properties enhance not only your poetry but your fiction and non-fiction writing as well?
In this workshop, you will learn how to harness concentrated syntax, lineation, rhythm, sonics, imagery, figurative language and poetic economy to inject poetry—it its many forms—into your fiction and non-fiction.
After this workshop you’ll have the tools to create narratives that play with form and voice, and to create beautiful sentences that enhance your writing through poetic encounters.
- Workshop: Saturday 2 August, 10am—4pm
- Where: The Wheeler Centre, 176 Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, 3000, Australia
- With: Tim Loveday
