Artist and illustrator Brigid Collins leads a workshop in creating a poem-house - a way of exploring the crafting process of a poem as it read, re-read, heard and re-heard. Participants should bring a poem or piece of text of their choice with which to work (a print out or photocopy). 'Part of StAnza'.
Making a 'Poem-House'
Brigid Collins workshop
Thu 18 March | 10.00am-12.30pm
Public Library Meeting Room, Church Square | £3.00
This practical hands-on workshop, led by Brigid Collins, will take participants through the creation of their own 'Poem-House', a form in which the artist has explored the series of thresholds a poem passes as it is read, reread, or heard, then reheard. As the artist says:
"It is through a shared sense of craft - of drafting and then making - that I become engaged in a process akin to that of a poet, when drafting, writing, making a poem. In a search for "something discovered vividly and sudden", as the Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh described his creative process, our journeys may converge."
Participants should bring along a text of particular meaning or importance to themselves with which to work (a print-out or a photocopy).
