POETRY THAT
REDIRECTS ITSELF
Sunday, December 4
In this workshop, we
will look at the nature of metaphor and how metaphor can be a tool for generating surprise in a
reader.
We will also:
- look at ways to
coax our poetry into taking surprising detours and discuss how those
detours can shape a new understanding of ourselves.
- read examples of
successful poems that employ similar tactics.
- participate
in writing exercises designed to generate new ideas.
The workshop leader
is Rodney Wilhite whose
poems have appeared in Pleiades, 14
Hills, Cartographer,
The Idle Class, The Puritan, and Splash of Red. He teaches at the
University of Arkansas at Fort Smith.
This is the third of our
free poetry series. Don’t miss it!
