Poetry Lab with Victoria Chang: Come Play!
Join Victoria Chang, whose collection With My Back To the World won the Forward Prize for Best Collection, for an online generative writing lab where we will read poems together and then write poems together, exploring as we do the festival’s theme of The Unseen World, which asks how we find meaning in an increasingly challenging world. We will go from one set of poems and writing exercises to the next with some time at the end to share what we’ve written. Come to this online workshop with a big imagination, an open mind, a laptop and/or a notebook, and be prepared to have fun as we experiment in new ways.
