poetry workshop at Library


Poetry for Receptive Minds

Facilitator: Michael Fitzgerald-Clarke

During this workshop, participants will be gently guided through an appreciation
of two poems, with a view to learning techniques, such as evocative imagery,
use of sound, enjambment, symbols, and epigraphs that they will then use in
writing a sestina, a form of poem that originated in the 1100s and which enjoyed a
renaissance of interest in the twentieth century. The workshop will conclude with
hands-on advice on how to edit the poem.

Date: Sunday, February 26, 2012
Time: 10:00 am to 4:00 pm
Venue: Meeting Room, Aitkenvale library
Cost: A gold coin donation, please bring a plate to share for lunch
Please also bring a laptop if possible, if not, a pen and writing pad will suffice.
