Introduction to Creative Writing-Poetry I
Date: Monday - Thursday, July 20 - 23
Times: 5:00 - 7:00 pm
Location: M-109
Cost: $49
Poetry is the workshop of language, the most acute way we have of expressing ourselves. Words for poets have meanings, associations, connotations, and conjure up images, feelings, shadowy depths and glinting surfaces.
Join UW-Marinette’s own award winning poet, Abayomi Animashaun, in one or both of these intensive, student-focused workshops to develop your own creative writing skills.
In this first workshop, participants will not only be introduced to the fundamentals of writing; they’ll also have the chance to read and critique works by some of the leading poets from around the world.
Individual attention will be given to each participant during one-on-one conferences, where Prof. Animashaun will offer comments on each participant’s piece and suggestions on writers the participant might consider studying closely.
Each poet is encouraged to submit 3-5 poems the week before the workshop.
Intermediate Creative Writing-Poetry II
Date: Monday - Thursday, July 27 - 30
Times: 5:00 - 7:00 pm
Location: M-109
Cost: $49
Participants from the ‘Introduction to Creative Writing Workshop’ as well as new participants with more advanced writing skills are encouraged to take part in the second week of the poetry workshop geared toward addressing the issue of ‘craft’.
Through the examination of each others’ writing and works by a handful of contemporary poets from around the world, participants will be answering the crucial question that often plagues writers— ‘when is a piece finished?’
This workshop will be mostly discussion based. Thus in-class writing will be at a minimum.
Individual attention will be given to each participant during one-on-one conferences, where the workshop coordinator – poet and teacher, Abayomi Animashaun – will offer suggestions and comments on each participant’s piece, writers the participant in question might consider studying closely, and literary magazines that might be open to the participant’s work.
Each poet is encouraged to submit 3-5 poems the week before the workshop.
