Most of us hope that our words will be received by a reader or audience with impact and intention. That our poetry will convey the rhythms of our heart, the music we hear in the inner ear. This workshop takes participants through a series of discussions and exercises on how to: - write for the “ear”, - use rhythm and sound to enhance meaning; - and edit with the reader / audience in mind.
