Paying attention to words\, rhythm\, and writing but most importantly the worlds that inspire you to write. Namely\, your world. \n“Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” -Charles Simic \nHave you ever swooned at the thought of exploring your full expression\, only to shuffle around the house more determined to rearrange mothballs than get something on paper? \nPoetry is undoubtedly a practice\, but it doesn’t have to be an intimidating sport for Creative Gods alone. The only “ask” is to take note and notice of your life. \nWe’ll help develop the work itself\, together. \nThis full-bodied beginner’s poetry class will help you shift from “Oof\, I could never…” into “Wait\, where’s my journal?!” by tuning into your world: to the color palette of grass\, to coffee-shop conversation\, to the twitch in your left elbow. If you want language for the volcanic prayers of your soul or to describe your partner’s voice whispering “I love you” at 4am\, we’ll get there. This class weaves the elements of poetry\, forms of poetry\, guided discussion with peers\, and the works of prolific poets all into a multidisciplinary play space. Plus\, oodles (oodles!) of writing time to build personal confidence and craft. This class immerses itself in artful experimentation across mediums\, paired with a toolkit of technical writing skills. It’s the ultimate permission slip to be a beginner. \n“Poetry is an echo\, asking a shadow to dance.” -Carl Sandburg \n5 wk series. 6/5-7/10 (7/3 cancelled)\, Wednesdays from 6:30-8:30p URL:https://thelaurelofasheville.com/event/poetry-101-the-curious-practice-of-paying-attention/ LOCATION:Story Parlor\, 227 Haywood Road\, Asheville\, 28806 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thelaurelofasheville.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/textilepoem.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240607T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240609T220000 DTSTAMP:20260609T192944 CREATED:20240504T020316Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240506T235339Z UID:68869-1717761600-1717970400@thelaurelofasheville.com SUMMARY:Connect Beyond Festival DESCRIPTION:Connect Beyond Festival returns to downtown Asheville\, N.C. on June 7-9\, 2024 for a weekend of performances\, panels\, film screenings and workshops with award-winning artists and thought leaders\, exploring how the intersection of music\, art\, film and storytelling can inspire positive change.
