Beautiful Experiments on Splashes: A Poetry Workshop

Register here. edgerton_splash

 

Poems thrive in fresh attention. How can we come to our poems open, free of preconception, ready for anything?  We’ll cultivate a supportive context and inquire into how we can further open our receptivity to the living, breathing poems at hand, the poems we might skip on our way to some inert ideal of a Poem.

The day will include generative exercises, reading, and discussion of craft.

The workshop is open to writers of all levels of experience and cultivates an atmosphere of respect for each others’ risks and offerings.

Participants are invited to send one poem of their own to the instructor in advance with an accompanying question or suggestion for discussion to help tailor the discussion.
