Prompts and Personas: Modes of Poetic Discovery
<p>Free poetry course taught by Anne Myles. Knowledge of the craft of poetry is one matter; finding good subjects to write about is another; writing in ways where we surprise ourselves and come up with poems we never would have known we could write is yet a third. In this workshop participants will experiment with a number of techniques for getting outside ourselves, our familiar subjects and voice, including timed writing with prompts, writing in the voice of an unfamiliar persona, and other exercises. There will be time for sharing selected pieces at the end and participants should go home with several different starts of new work.</p> 2019-04-02 16:00:00 -0500
