Poetry Writing Workshop: Of Love and Heartbreak: Using Poetry as a Tool to Navigate the Many Roads of the Heart
Author and poet Heather Frankland will present the next workshop in The Write Stuff writing series, a 2-hour talk and generative workshop: Of Love and Heartbreak: Using Poetry as a Tool to Navigate the Many Roads of the Heart. It will be offered on Saturday, February 17th, from 10 am to noon, at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Silver City, 3845 N. Swan St, Silver City, NM.
Will you be my Valentine? Are you interested in reading and writing both love and heartbreak poems? Oftentimes, love and heartbreak poems are the first poems a poet will write, and more than often—they are among the hardest. How can one write a poem about feelings that seem to escape definition? How can one write a love poem that doesn’t sound abstract or just a mere copy of other love poems out there? In this talk and workshop, Heather Frankland will guide attendees through poetry examples, prompts, exercises, and creative play. This workshop will be both one of play and sincerity, and by the end—you will walk out with 2-3 poems of your own.
