Poetry and other words
My poetry workshop at Writers & Books will look at different modes of voice poets use to enact different modes of consciousness in the reader.
We'll spend a little time trying out some tricks to get unstuck, produce a piece of writing, and go home with strategies for breaking the block.
Participants will generate new writing and discuss it in the same way we discuss published work, noticing what’s there and how it’s working, rather than “fixing” other people’s poems.
