Karen Subach Poultry Slamboree: A Free-Range Workshop For All Levels* Twenty Dances Toward Flapping Your Wings Again: A Generative Workshop For Writers
Poultry Slamboree: A Free-Range Workshop For All Levels* Been chicken about registering for a workshop even though you feel poetry is something to crow about? Wish you had reassurance that your feathers would remain relatively unfluffed throughout your Iowa roosting? Want something to cluck about after it’s over? All cackles are welcome in this no-pecking-order coop. You introduce yourself to me by way of five poems that you are proud of. With these five you also send three that you’d like our group to read. During the week, we will begin with sharing a short, previously-made work; we will workshop poems that are as finished as a given writer has been able to make them; and we will do a few generative exercises (sharing of results always optional). Chicken scratch fine, but cocks-of-the-walk discouraged in the best interest of potential layings of golden eggs. I assure you a cozy nesting. Twenty Dances Toward Flapping Your Wings Again: A Generative Workshop For Writers Breathe. Attend. Feel deeply. This gathering is for revitalizing your creative spirit. Every day we will take a few minutes to share part of a previously made piece (either through reading aloud or through giving out copies for silent reading); we will move into exercises that lead to compelling new work (depending on your medium); and we will read overlapping work from throughout history. Largesse of spirit and mutual support will inform this workshop. All voices are welcome. Before we meet, I request a letter addressing your writing background and nine typed pages of finished work. The pages you send will not be discussed in class; they will serve, rather, to give me a sense of who you are and how I can help catalyze new writing for you. This class is most appropriate for those who have weathered ups and downs within the creative process and are familiar with the complicated commitment of attending to the calling. Former students are encouraged to return; I take joy in seeing how your work is evolving. Biography
