POETRY WORKSHOP
POETRY | THE ART OF PAYING ATTENTION
INSTRUCTOR: JACQUELINE VIOLA MOULTON
Poetry can be an intimidating medium to practice, read, and engage with. If you are completely new to poetry and are curious about it as a writing practice and expression - then this workshop is for you. If you are well-versed (pun intended) in the world of poetry but would like to learn more, or have a fun place to practice, or try out new skills, genres, and styles - then this workshop is for you!
Poetry is the art of paying attention and then of sharing that attention with the world - this workshop will put into practice the art of paying attention, as well as ways to put that attention down on paper. This two-day workshop will explore ways of cultivating poetry, both in writing it and reading it, as a way of experiencing the world, our selves, and the other.
MATERIALS
We will do a lot of writing in this workshop, so bring something to write with or write on - you can bring a laptop if that is how you prefer to write! If you do use a computer, also bring a paper and writing utensil of some kind!
REGISTER NOW: SATURDAY+SUNDAY | DECEMBER 13+14 | 12 PM TO 3 PM | $65
