Poetic Image (Program Reminder)

Poetic Image Poetry Workshop

Space is still available to participate in "The Poetic Image Poetry Workshop" with Santa Fe Poet Laureate, Arthur Sze, on Saturday, April 21, 2007. The event will be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Southside Library Branch, 6599 Jaguar Drive. Call 955-2820 for registration.

This FREE two-hour poetry writing workshop is for participants ages 13 to adult. The workshop will include a discussion of Chinese poetry – the structure of Chinese characters, along with a focus on how visual images often carry emotional weight. There will also be an in-depth look at a poem by the great early poet T’ao Ch’ien. Participants will have time for group discussion and will generate poems of their own during the workshop.
The workshop is offered as part of the Poet Laureate program, a project of the City of Santa Fe Arts Commission. Funding is provided by First National Bank of Santa Fe, the Witter Bynner Foundation for Poetry and generous donors. The Poet Laureate program is designed to enhance the presence of the literary arts in Santa Fe and create a focal point for the expression of Santa Fe’s culture through the literary arts.
