FADE IN: Poetry for Everybody Workshop

Poetry can change the way people think and connect to the way they feel. It can introduce a new ground for language, express an idea in an utterly unique way, and create a medley of music and words.

Poetry is often considered difficult to write, complex to understand, and made for the elite few. This workshop will help you unblock your writer’s block and get your poetry ideas down on paper so that you can read, revisit and revise.

Whether you are a poetry enthusiast, a frequent writer, or just somebody who wants to understand what so many poems ramble on about, this class is geared to show you that poetry is, in fact, for everybody.

This class is taught by writer and poet Nadine Makarem in English (Arabic will be spoken in class)

In the four sessions, you will be exploring poetry in a creative-centered atmosphere:

– Read a poem at the start of each class and discuss.
– Identify different forms of poetry and how they can help any of your poems
– Become familiar with the various aspect of the “poetic line” or structural division of verses
– Understand rhythm, rhyme and pace
– Workshop poetry using abstraction, image, story and sound
– Write! And leave with at least one draft of one poetic form
