Write What You Don’t Know: A Workshop in Immersion Poetics with Lynnell Edwards

Though we’re rightly inspired to write about the things we know best, sometimes looking out and around to the worlds we don’t know brings opportunities for expansive new poetry. Sustained attention and engagement in defined environments, whether they be studios, workspaces, institutions for healing or helping, brings us new words, new ways of being, and even new forms for our poems. In this workshop we’ll look at how we can, by immersing ourselves as observers and even participants in environments both beyond our comfort zone as well as close to home, we can discover new subjects for our poems. We’ll look closely at the forms and styles in the work of several poets who have done just this and we’ll write from prompts designed to jump start our thinking about what we know and what we’d like to know more about.
