Description
What makes a poem a great poem? And how can you write one? In this workshop, we’ll explore how poets move from an inspiring idea or feeling to a well-crafted, successful, dynamite poem. Through a series of creative, interactive exercises, participants will develop greater mastery of the fundamentals of poetry, including imagery, metaphor, music, syntax and surprise. Bring pen and paper and your curiosity, and you’ll emerge with a new batch of poems. Suitable for beginners as well as experienced writers of poetry.
