SUMMARY:Poetry Workshop: Fable and Fabulation
DESCRIPTION:Poetry Workshop co-led by Stephanie Yorke and John Wall Barger \nEnrollment: $35 each.\nTo register contact Stephanie (syorkefreelanceediting [at] gmail.com) or John (johnwallbarger [at] gmail.com)\nLimited enrollment.\nhttps://johnwallbarger.com/poetry-workshop-fable-and-fabulation/ \nWORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:\nPlayful writing exercises and enthusiastic discussion come together in this team-led workshop by poets Stephanie Yorke and John Wall Barger. Why do so many poets turn to myth and fable in their poetry? And why are some old stories dusty and boring\, while others still feel vital and rich? From Grimm to Gilgamesh\, from Dante to the Tibetan Book of the Dead — in this workshop\, participants will have the chance to engage with ancient myths that continue to inspire contemporary poets to create their own original writings. \nFACILITATORS:\nStephanie Yorke has published one poetry collection\, Both Boys Climb Trees They Can’t Climb Down (Signature Editions\, 2012)\, and her poems appear in journals including The Fiddlehead\, Grain\, PRISM international\, and The Malahat Review. She also writes essays about poetry and literature\, and holds a doctorate from the University of Oxford. \nJohn Wall Barger’s poems appear in American Poetry Review\, Rattle\, The Awl\, The Cincinnati Review\, Poetry Ireland Review\, and Best of the Best Canadian Poetry. His poem\, “Smog Mother\,” was co-winner of The Malahat Review’s 2017 Long Poem Prize. His fourth book\, The Mean Game\, is coming out with Palimpsest Press in spring 2019. He is an editor for Painted Bride Quarterly.

SUMMARY:Write The Body Electric: A Creative Process Workshop for Writers in All Genres
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Leader: Stacey Engels \nCost: $160 for QWF members; $190 for non-members \nCost of QWF membership (annual) plus workshop: $200 \nPayment is due within one week of registration to confirm your spot. Please review our cancellation policy. \nFor more information\, or to register: (514) 933-0878 or workshops@qwf.org \n* \nThis two-session course is open to writers in all genres. \nWhether you have a specific writing goal or are playing with the puzzle pieces of a new project\, this class will provide strategies for developing good work habits\, honing your curiosity and finding inspiration everywhere–without and within. \nOver the two Saturday sessions\, we will learn to find the sweet spot between discipline and freedom. We aim to break the boundaries that stand between us and our true innovative capacities\, and develop the boundaries that safeguard and sustain a regular writing practice. \nIn each session\, we will discuss selected writings in different genres\, drawing on these and non-writing media for inspiration in creative experiments. We will play with colour\, sound\, rhythm\, and form to ignite the senses and expand our understanding of what’s possible in writing\, before diving into prompts and exercises. \nWe will also borrow from meditation techniques to focus our concentration\, explore our preconceptions about time\, and ally ourselves with our bodies as sources of information and inspiration. \nWith practice\, using the techniques shared in this course\, participants will learn to maximize their available time\, bypass the inner critic\, and tap into inspiration\, innovation\, and authenticity every time they sit down to write.
