GT- Writing & Poetry
GT- Writing & Poetry Workshop

Saturday, Apr. 2, 1:00 pm
Join us at a workshop that will make you feel excited about language and self-expression in both poetry and prose. Susan will first talk about her journals and her own writing process, including the "fourth genre" where categories-prose, poetry, fiction and non-fiction blend.
Then we’ll gather (and steal) words from a scattering of books and create a group “word pool.”
Through play we will begin to listen within to our deepest and most mysterious voice, delving into what soul says, heart says, mind says, water says, our town says as we write about who we are, where we come from and where we’re going along the way we will explore imagery, close observation, metaphor and “dream sense." immersed in what poet Ann Waldman calls "goofy profundity.” We’ll talk about opposites, noun/verbs, imagery and sound. We will welcome both laughter and tears. Sharing work is always optional.
