Special Workshop: Writing by Ear: Poetry as a Foreign Language

with Kathy Fagan and Angie Estes

Saturday MAY 19th 2007 9:30-4:00 pm  

Morning Food and Lunch included $75 

Stanley Kunitz has written that, "Even before it is ready to change into
language,

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.

Bring 20 copies of a poem

Limit 16/  Additional students- Morning only audits allowed @ $45
