 Session 1 

Crafting Current Events Poetry

　

　 Date   April 6th (Sun.) 2PM - 4PM

　 Location   Joy of Reading Hall

　

　　This hands-on workshop will lead participants through reading and composing poetry inspired by news stories. After introductions, we will read and discuss some examples, primarily published by other poets though also including one or two from my project. I will provide a large selection of news stories on a range of topics (e.g. nature, human interest, politics, sports, strange news) from which they can choose, and then lead the participants through recommended steps for drafting a poem. In small groups, they will share their poems and give one another supportive critique. Then we will discuss revising poems. Each participant will produce one polished poem during the workshop, and come away with the skills to write more on their own.

　

* Co-host with Taipei Poetry Collective (TPC).

 Session 2 

Creative Writing Submission

　

　 Date   April 13th (Sun.) 2PM - 4PM

　 Location   Muse Garden

　

　　This workshop is designed to empower emerging writers to begin submitting their work for publication. If a writer is considering diving into the rip current of poetry submissions, this workshop offers a rope, and the opportunity to work through knots including: selecting publications; budgeting time; keeping organized, drafting important texts such as cover letters, bios, and responses to editors; preparing manuscripts; submission etiquette, and tips. Participants will have the chance to introspect about their own goals and interests, discuss with peers and develop a network, and write key texts they will need in order to start submitting. The workshop will also provide helpful templates and step-by-step instructions to demystify what can be an overwhelming process.

　

* Open to those who have written poetry or other creative works for potential publication.
