To create our best work (and selves!) we must accept uncertainty and take leap after leap in the dark. This workshop will require us to do both. Think, open a portal to a larger experiential universe. Think, give up control. Come with 2 copies of a poem you have written and 2 of a poem with which you have emotional resonance—love, hate, admiration, disgust…something.
We will discuss, question, explore, and, most importantly, begin new work. We are looking to find/create the energy in the poem. If there is no energy, there is no poem, no matter what you see on the page-or what you “think.” And if you disagree, come anyway. Ha! What fun this will be.
If you’re going to walk on thin ice, why not dance? —Boston Teran
If you’re not moving into the unknown, why bother? —paraphrase of something an artist whose name I can’t remember.
You got to figure out which end of the needle you gon be, the one that’s fastened to the thread or the end that pierces the cloth. —Sue Monk Kidd
