Poetry Writing Workshop:
The Path of Surprise

10 a.m. till 2 p.m.
Waccamaw Center for Higher Education

Susan Meyers, instructor
Writing poems should be more than telling anecdotes from a life you already know or describing something you’ve seen. It should take you down a path of surprise. “No surprise for the writer, no surprise for the reader,” Robert Frost wisely noted. In this class we’ll use writing activities and handouts of published poems, as well as discussion, to take us farther down that serendipitous path. We’ll study poems that leap, swerve, and follow their particular logic—then we’ll write our own.
Lunch can be purchased at a nearby deli, or bring your own.
