Temperamental Poetry: A Making & Mending Workshop
2730 Historic Decatur Road, Barracks 16 #202, San Diego, 92106
Cost: $45 - $54
The poet Gregory Orr suggests poetry is composed of four temperaments: story, structure, music, and imagination. We will read and discuss contemporary poems to better understand how these temperaments work individually and in concert with each other. Then, using these temperaments as templates, participants will make poems emphasizing these qualities. Participants will also bring in finished drafts to mend by applying these concepts through individual analysis and workshop.
