No ideas but in things. This from William Carlos Williams. What did WCW mean? To illuminate ideas and emotions, we must first anchor them in the physical world. How do we do this? Simply said, over six weeks—the five senses will be our guides. Taste, Touch, Sound, Scent & Vision will prompt our poems. Sensory language creates images, and images in turn move toward meaning. What we hope for in every poem we read. A flash of revelation! This is a generative (& fun) workshop. We will read widely—& write a poem (from “sensational” prompts) for each of our sessions.
