Event
POETRY AS SOUL: A WRITING WORKSHOP with Hermine Meinhard, New York Writers Workshop
December 1, 2018
Saturday
2:00-5:00 pm
Poems are gateways to the soul. As readers, we are returned to the mystery and beauty of our lives through the poets experience, captured in image, music and line. We also find mirrors of our own struggles. As writers, how do we find our way to the richness of language and experiences from which poems come?
In this workshop we will experiment with the everyday, with memory, dream, evocative language, objects and artworks as pathways into making poems. Through playfully quiet exercises, and a supportive, stimulating community, you will engage in writing as an act of discovery from which a richness of poetry and transformation comes. The workshop is multi-generational, multi-level and welcoming to both beginners and experienced.
