WORDS AND PICTURES : A workshop w/ Anis Mojgani
November 16, 2019 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
$25So much of writing poetry is a combination of putting together different elements, whether congruous or not, to see what their juxtaposition creates in the imagination of the reader; of deciding what to put on the page and what to leave absent; and how these decisions give space for readers to become an active part of what they are reading.
What happens when we add pictures into the mix, whether simple or complex ones? What poetic spaces in the writer and reader are created with these combinations? What sort of poems become poems when words and pictures are put together? Writing poetry often begins simply by letting something from inside unfurl untethered to reveal its shape to you, and then picking up to see what it can become. We’ll take a similar approach and apply this also to drawing, and then seeing what happens when these worlds combine.
