This is an entertaining workshop for serious writers of all levels of experience, led by Seattle poet Paul Nelson. The four-hour session includes lively discussions and sound from interviews with poets McClure, Myles, Rothenberg, Ginsberg, Waldman. Through a series of intensifying creative writing exercises, you will develop an understanding of your own personal mythology and write at that deeper level of consciousness using spontaneous writing exercises and prompts. This workshop takes participants to a deeper level in their writing that can be intense, but extremely liberating.
Paul E. Nelson is a poet, broadcaster, interviewer, author of Organic Poetry and A Time Before Slaughter, and founder of SPLAB and the Cascadia Poetry Festival.
