Workshops 2011 ONLINE WORKSHOPS: Angela Rydell is offering fiction, poetry and creative non-fiction workshops online through UW-Madison's Learn@UW program. Enroll any time, read at your own pace, submit work for feedback whenever you're ready! For all the details you need to know about the courses: dcs.wisc.edu/lsa/online/writing/index.html September 24th, Saturday, 9 am–1 pm: With Susan Elbe. Do you want to stretch? Become more flexible? Find a new rhythm? We all have a voice that we’ve developed over time. We also have obsessions, those things we write about over and over. In this workshop, we’ll explore strategies to achieve a stylistic change. We’ll work to stop repeating ourselves by challenging how we perceive, by risking failure in order to grow. As Louise Glück says, “... oftentimes when you change, the new poems, the adventurous poems, may be less successful,” but we have to be willing to go back to being a beginner. Together, we'll look at how other poets have changed their style, generate new poems, and see how we can take old poems to a new place. Bring your notebook and pen, and two of your own poems that you feel are typical of your voice and style. This workshop is designed for poets who want to stretch their boundaries. Reach up. Breathe. The workshop will take place at All Writer's Workplace and Workshop, 234 Brook Street, Unit 2, Waukesha.
Poetry Groups Last Thursdays, 7–8:30 pm: Madison Poetry Tribe. For anybody that loves words, poetry, rhyme and rhythmic ranting. Bring a poem to share, workshop your poetry, do creative writing exercises and discuss your writing process. Let's work toward building an even more vibrant poetry community in Madison! Meets at Steep & Brew Coffee, 544 State Street. All are welcome! |
