<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:
.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>a poem
may begin to assert its varied life in the mind with wordless surges of rhythm
and counter rhythm." In this workshop we will discuss and explore
strategies the poet can use to rein in these sonic and imagistic surges, and
ride them into poetry. Specifically, we will practice the art of translitic and
ekphrastic poems as we develop ways to move beyond the semantic components of language
and enable the unconscious to emerge into poetry. As Walter Benjamin has
remarked in his discussion of translation, language can exhibit either memory
or amnesia; our goal in this workshop will be to lessen the amnesia of language
and gain access to language's deep memory.</span></font></p>
