Figures of Speech: A Poetry Workshop
In conjunction with the Go Figure exhibition
October 18, from 6-8:30
In this workshop participants will write poetry that also explores the human form, as seen through the artists represented in the Go Figure exhibition, currently on display at the center. Writing about art is a wonderful way of making poems, and the workshop will explore multiple diverse ways of looking at art and using it as a starting point for poetry. The class will explore the exhibition for inspiration, write one or two poems about artworks, and get helpful feedback on their writing.
The workshop will be led by former Poet Laureate of Hampshire, UK, Brian Evans-Jones, who has taught workshops in America and Britain since 2005. All levels are welcome, including those who have never tried poetry before: Brian has helped many people take their first steps into poetry, as well as teaching experienced poets.
