Magee Park Poets: Exploring Surreal Metaphor
1250 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, 92008
Cost: Free
In this workshop writers will have the opportunity to explore surrealism in literature while considering its benefit in assisting the writer to expand upon a single metaphor. This generative workshop will give poets hands on experience in creating a list of potential surreal metaphors that can be referred to at a later time. Valorie K. Ruiz is a Chicana poet fascinated by language and the magic it evokes. She is an MFA Candidate at San Diego State University where she works with Poetry International and volunteers with Poetic Youth. Her writing has been published or is forthcoming with Cosmonauts Avenue, San Pedro River Review, Tinderbox Poetry, and Madwomen Etc. Admission is free. Registration is required.
