The Poetry Business: Writing Poems with Jane Burn - A Creative Mapping of the Self
Mon 7 Oct 2024 to Mon 7 Oct 2024
If geographic location can be found using maps, then can ‘locations’ within the self be found the same? In this workshop, Jane will encourage using creative mapping in order to navigate the self.
Can external locations help us discover and articulate internal locations? Can place writing become a way of supporting self-knowledge, self-expression, and creative fluency?
The amalgamation of internal and external locations can offer generative possibilities and a deeper understanding and articulation of place and its relationship to the self and to creative practice. The pieces that we write can become important places of existence for ourselves.
If we experiment with emotional / poetic / creative mapping of internal / external locations, how would the results differ from traditional mapping? How would they inform our writing? How would they encourage emotional and poetic dialogues?
