"Sense & Nonsense: A Poetry Workshop" with Becca Klaver
Saturday, May 30, 2009, 12am-4pm
Woodland Pattern Book Center
720 East Locust Street
Milwaukee, WI 53212
($40/$35 WP Members; includes ticket to 7pm Switchback reading)
Through a variety of sensory and nonsensical experiments, in this workshop we will explore our relationships to each of the traditional five senses (especially those we take for granted), consider the additional senses that poets rely on (sixth, seventh, seventeenth), examine synesthesia and other sense-related poetic topics, and indulge in nonsense. Experiments may or may not include flâneuring, blindfolds, taste/smell/touch-tests, and speaking in tongues, or in Stein. Participants will be asked to bring a few simple supplies to aid in the experiments, and will use the material generated to compose one or more poems or short texts by the end of the workshop.
