WORKSHOP

 

Venue: Community Hall, Dangar Island 
Saturday 10 March 10.45 to 5.00 with a 30” break for lunch (vegetarian, included in price).

 

This template has been a complete charge for everyone. One of the country’s leading poetry facilitators will be giving a workshop in Sydney. 

 

This project will consist of three components.

 

Everyone gets in advance a strategy sheet on editing their work. Then, participants will send four poems (maximum 30 lines each) to leswicks@hotmail.com 14 days prior to the workshop. The poems with commentary will be distributed to the participants four days prior to their workshop. Participants should bring a copy of the entire commentary document to the workshop.

 

On the day of the workshop we will work intensively through each participant’s poems building on prior suggestions and experiencing a dynamic interplay of ideas/insights. 

 

Should they so wish, participants will have a chance to have a piece published in the e-mag Australian Poetry Collaboration, which is widely read and archived by the National Library’s Pandora.

 

It is strictly limited to only 8 attendees. 

 

Bookings must be made by 17 February.

 

Cost $100.
