Surprise Yourself, Surprise Your Reader: A Free Poetry Intensive
Mar 10, 2025 @ 7:00 PM-9:00 PM
Instructor: Ruth Danon
Virtual. Both Robert Frost and Flannery O'Connor made famous the statement: "no surprise for the writer, no surprise for the reader." This generative two-hour workshop open to prose writers and poets provides ways to access that which is present in the mind but not yet on the page or even in conscious intention. Participants will leave the workshop with a deeper understanding of what's at stake for them as writers and with a rough draft that can lead towards more finished material. Registration is free.
