Beguiled & Bewildered: A Generative Poetry Workshop
2730 Historic Decatur Road, Barracks 16 #202, San Diego, 92106
Cost: $45 - $54
In her essay, “Bewilderment,” poet and writer Fanny Howe positions bewilderment “as a way of entering the day as much as the work.” In this workshop, we will read excerpts from Howe’s lyrical essay and discuss poems that bewilder us: what happens when we abandon sequence for uncertainty? When we “lie down in mystery,” forgoing logic? Through reading, conversation, and generative writing exercises with Amie Whitmore, enter “the roundness of dreaming” and draft poems that will shake up your writing habits and dislodge writer’s block.
