Poetry Writers – Imagination Based Poetry Workshop

Poetry Writers – Imagination Based Poetry Workshop

IMAGINATION BASED POETRY WORKSHOP
George Wallace will stimulate your writing through exercises based on re-discovering and using your imaginative skills through generative wordplay. This one day workshop encourages you to brainstorm your own prompts and trigger ideas for new poems, in a friendly interactive group setting. Imagination-based poetry moves away from the editing focus of traditional critique-based writing workshops, working instead with exercises that enhance the writer’s ability to create space for the imagination to explore, invent, discover and roam.
