Borrow, Never Steal: Use Other Poets’ Work to Inspire Your Own Poems (Mar 19)
Borrow, Never Steal: Use Other Poets’ Work to Inspire Your Own Poems (Mar 19)
with Shuly Xóchitl Cawood
Thursday, March 19, 3-5PM Eastern on ZOOM
Feeling stuck? Have writer’s block? Or just wanting inspiration? During this online, generative class we will use other poets’ work as jumping-off points to kick off our own pieces. Bring one book (preferably a poetry collection, but any book will do in a pinch) with you. We’ll create a few first drafts and let others' words help us keep our pens moving. We'll also talk about how to make sure we give credit to writers when we borrow a title, line, or idea from them to create our own (and different) work. Facilitated by Shuly Xóchitl Cawood, author of the poetry collection, Something So Good It Can Never Be Enough. Note: This workshop will be recorded for those who register and cannot attend.
