(A writing workshop) DESCRIPTION:My poetry workshop at Writers & Books will look at different ways poets arrange language to have varying effects on the reader.\nOne reason it’s hard to say what a poem is or isn’t is that there are so many ways a poem can be made. Long lines\, short lines\, paragraphs\, collage. Soapbox\, anecdote\, confession\, meditation. In this class\, we will explore different modes a poem may be written in depending on its “designs on the reader.” \nThrough discussion and written commentary\, we’ll look at how a variety of poets\, from John Keats to John Berryman\, Emily Dickinson to W.S. DiPiero\, Larry Eigner to Larry Levis (to name a few) use different modes for differing effects. Class participants will learn the practice of “descriptive analysis” — brief commentary on a specific aspect of one poem (such as the use of sound\, color\, or sudden turns in plot\, diction\, or tone) and how its deployment can create and alter emotion and mind. \nConsider the quieting effect of the last image in Keats’ “To Autumn” with the creepy beauty of Berryman’s “Dream Song 29.” Subject matter aside\, what is it that accounts for the difference in tone and final effect? \nJust by engaging in descriptive analysis\, the techniques reviewed effortlessly enter the writer’s own repertoire of strategies\, expanding and enriching our writing. \nAs participants generate new poems\, we’ll discuss how they work in the same way we discuss published texts. The emphasis will be on noticing what’s there and how it’s working\, rather than “fixing” other people’s poems. The final class will be a public reading. \nEvening Workshop: 6 Sessions\, Wednesdays\nOctober 30 – December 4\n6:30 pm – 9 pm \nDeadline to register: October 27\, 11:59 pm \nShare this:\n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://poetry.ruekberg.com/event/modes-in-poetry-rants-yarns-musings-a-writing-workshop/ LOCATION:Writers & Books\, 740 University Ave.\, Rochester\, NY\, 14607\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://poetry.ruekberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/woman-with-flower-in-hair.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190914T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190914T210000 DTSTAMP:20190903T165241Z CREATED:20190710T042514Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190903T165241Z UID:837-1568487600-1568494800@poetry.ruekberg.com SUMMARY:Flour City Readings at The Yards DESCRIPTION:David will join three other readers at this Rochester\, NY series.

Each month\, Wanda Schubmehl has sent a prompt to the members of the group\, and each month the members wrote poems in response. The only “rule” of the group was that the poem had to take its impetus from the prompt. Many of the poems went in completely unexpected directions! \nTo get a sense of the prompts\, here are two: \nMay\, 2018 – At the confluence\, a stone of shame. \nFebruary\, 2019 – The Office of Again.) \nOn May 5\, at the Irondequoit Public Library (Rochester\, NY) at 1pm\, an end-of-project celebration reading will be held. The public is invited\, and there is no charge to attend! \nThis project is conceived and executed by Wanda Schubmehl\, in connection with Al Abanado’s Bloom! Rochester Poetry Project. \n— Wanda Schubmehl \nShare this:\n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://poetry.ruekberg.com/event/bloom-poetry-prompt-project-reading/ LOCATION:Irondequoit Public Library\, 1290 Titus Ave\,\, West Irondequoit\, NY\, 14617\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190425T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190425T190000 DTSTAMP:20190301T020700Z CREATED:20190301T020700Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190301T020700Z UID:751-1556215200-1556218800@poetry.ruekberg.com SUMMARY:word\, revisited DESCRIPTION:Share this:\n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://poetry.ruekberg.com/event/word-revisited/ LOCATION:Cayuga Museum of History and Art\, 203 Genesee Street\, Auburn\, NY\, 13021\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190414T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190414T150000 DTSTAMP:20190409T010331Z CREATED:20190223T050043Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190409T010331Z UID:740-1555246800-1555254000@poetry.ruekberg.com SUMMARY:Speakeasy DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, April 14\, 2019 at 1 pm: Speakeasy at Cheshire (above Solera)\, 647 South Ave\, Rochester\, NY. \nDavid will read a long poem from Hour of the Green Light\, to be published by FutureCycle Press in late 2020.
