A short poem workshop on Tuesday, April 22 at 6:30pm, Upstart &Crow Bookstore, Granville Island, Vancouver
Using the idea of fragments (visual, sonic, or otherwise) this poetry workshop explores how small pieces become part of a whole.
We will experiment with physical materials on site, perhaps generating new materials in the form of sounds and word lists, and consider how assembling new patterns creates associative energy in the small poem.
This playful workshop is open to writers and non-writers of all experience levels who are curious about new methods of composition. Please bring pen and paper. Digital devices are welcome but not required. Participants will leave with short poems and with strategies for editing.
Please register here.
