Saturday, Feb. 10: Poetry Writing Workshop--"Digging In"
Saturday, Feb. 10, 2007
10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Waccamaw Center for Higher Education
160 Willbrook Boulevard
Pawleys Island, SC 29585
Susan Meyers, instructor
I'll be teaching a workshop on generating new poems that explore a subject to its fullest. Just because you've written one poem about a subject doesn't mean it's time to move on to something else. Strategies for approaching the subject from numerous angles, digging deeper, moving beyond the obvious, yet retaining the poem’s mystery. Includes class packet of sample poems and resources. For all levels.
A sandwich can be purchased during class, or bring your own. Registration, $30: Coastal Carolina University Lifelong Learning, 843-349-4032 or www.coastal.edu/outreach.
