Description
In this free virtual workshop, Lynn Davidson will help you see the importance and pleasure of developing surprise in your poetry. She will introduce you to some exercises you can use to help you find the strange and apt image, an endeavour that can often takes a sideways route, inviting chance and accident. You will have the opportunity to workshop some of your ideas.
This workshop is for writers who are keen to take their poetry forward but could use some advice and inspiration to do so. We’re also keen to help people who feel their writing has stalled to get things moving again.
This workshop will take place on Wednesday, 21 June 2017 from 6pm to 7:30ish in our virtual meeting room.
Here’s a Summary of What the Workshop Will Cover
- How to recognize and analyse images that evoke surprise.
- Introduction to exercises that can help you create surprise in your own poetry.
- At least one live exercise to help you create surprise.
- Workshop discussions of participants’ work.
At the end of the session, Laurie Garrison, Founder and Director of Women Writers School will tell you about the new Women Writers Network. Members of the network have free access to live and recorded events in this series as well as other benefits.
This workshop will be led by Lynn Davidson, an Edinburgh-based poet, novelist and creative nonfiction writer. She has published four collections of poetry including Common Land (Victoria University Press) and How to Live by the Sea (Victoria University Press). She has an MA and PhD in creative writing as well as experience of teaching at Melbourne University and Victoria University of Wellington.
