Wonders & Realities : Poetry Writing Workshop with Poet Jane Clarke, Saturday, 12th October, 2-5pm, Nenagh Tourist Office, Fee €30
“The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.” – Rachel Carson, Silent Spring Poet Jane Clarke will lead a workshop exploring how poetry helps us fine-tune our senses and pay attention to the wonders and realities of our threatened world.
Good writing comes from good looking – from a respectful scrutiny and empathic bond with the subject. Jane will look at what makes poems resonate with the reader and will offer prompts to generate new work.
The course is equally suited to those with some experience of writing and publication, or poets drawing together a first collection or pamphlet.
