SEEKING YOUR VOICE: Women Writing Poetry&Memoir
This upper-Westside workshop, hosted for many years at Barnard College Center for Research on Women, draws a diverse group of women writers and produces an amazing variety of work, from neo-formal to experimental, prose to text/visual combinations. Learn to bring urgency and oxygen to your writing-presence. Make new discoveries, take risks.
We will pay attention to voice and craft, as well as support for each student’s journey, in each new stanza or paragraph. We encourage careful listening, not nit-picking! We’ll also explore the works of historic and contemporary authors and suggest Optional exercises/assignments for inspiration and challenge. On occasion we invite special guest-teachers from the New York as well across-the-country literary/writing communities to stimulate new approaches.
Welcome to writers of all levels and backgrounds: from grad students -- to physicians, educators, engineers, grandparents. Class meets every other week, will get you writing, *is offered at a bargain price(Check us out & compare), and Yes! we generate information about publication.**
Most important: Every poem is a gift! --Charlotte Mandel Wompo, Workshop Founder"Translating Silence."
**For a bit of history & great writing: Please see MER VOX: our Summer 2017 Workshop Collaboration: “The Mother Dispossessed”
