SUMMARY:What’s in a Name? A Poetry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Names carry meaning. Some names carry a story\, like Samson whose name conjures thoughts of cut hair\, love betrayed\, and strength. We can use names to add meaning and texture to our poems. \nDuring the workshop\, participants will be guided to write poems built around a name. Each week\, we will: highlight a way a name can add texture to a poem; read and discuss a poem by an acclaimed poet who uses names to create images\, foreshadow\, or inject meaning; and write a poem inspired by the week’s poem. Participants will have the first draft of four new poems by the end of the workshop. \nRegistration Deadline: September 17\, 2020. \nBlossom Thom is a poet and editor. She is the author of #HashtagRelief (Gaspereau Press\, 2017) and her poetry has appeared during art collaborations and in literary magazines and anthologies including Poetic Notions: A Weaving of Poetry and Visual Arts\, Kola: A Black Literary Magazine\, and Montréal Serai. A mentorship with George Elliott Clarke set the groundwork for her work-in-progress and was supported by a Professional Development for Artists Grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. \nFor further details\, please see event link.

SUMMARY:Sensational Songwriting: the Art and Craft of Song [Live & Online]
DESCRIPTION:How do we know if an idea is solid enough to inspire a song? What’s the difference between a ballad and a 3 minute pop song? What are our choices when it comes to rhyming schemes and how do we maintain a flow when scanning lyrics to melody? How do we write a thrilling pre-chorus and what makes a song have an impact? In this four-week workshop we will transform your ideas into songs; exploring structure\, storytelling techniques\, melodic phrasing\, harmonic support and verse/chorus/bridge formats. Each week there will be a songwriting assignment\, followed by the opportunity to share your work and receive in-depth feedback from your instructor and peers.
