SUMMARY:One Poem\, Many Voices: A Workshop on Writing Collaboratively
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is FREE and OPEN TO ALL. Registration is NOT required. \nCollaborating in the creation of a poem connects us deeply with each other. The process is always full of surprises — dynamic\, inventive\, and fun. \nIn collaboration\, we get to see how people really understand our words. They take them up and go places with them\, unexpected places! Through listening and responding\, we open doors we didn’t know were there: doors in our selves\, in our perceptions\, in each other. \nThis workshop engages participants in a variety of approaches to writing poems collaboratively. \nYour workshop guides\, Mary di Michele and Susan Gillis\, have more than a decade of experience in writing poetry collaboratively. In addition to their active individual practices\, they have written and published together as members of Yoko’s Dogs since 2006. Susan’s fourth book of poetry\, Yellow Crane\, appeared in 2018. Mary’s twelfth book and latest collection of poetry\, Bicycle Thieves\, was published with ECW in 2017. \nThis event is taking place on the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka. \nGenerously supported by the Community Cultural Action Fund (CCAF) of the Department of Canadian Heritage.
