Meeting will take place in the Poetry Center's Alumni Room, Room 205; limit 12 students. General registration will open on Tuesday, December 17th at 10:00AM.
Ursula LeGuin tells us, "...the least adequate way to describe the human experience is with realism." In this workshop led by award winning poet, Wendy Videlock, we'll discuss what makes for a meaningful, memorable poem, and why our most beloved poets throughout history have explored the poetic imagination through the exploration of poetic form. We will engage in a series of writing prompts that will enhance our facility with language, nuance, tone, and the importance of trusting the reader. Students will come away with an understanding of how craft and attention to syntax can charge our language with meaning, potency and memorability. Come learn to activate your sense of play and your latent imagination.
