COLLABORATIVE POETICS
Collaborative Poetics. The process by definition engages the relationship between the individual writer and a community of writers.
In the session we will practice and explore a number of ways poets can write together to create a collaborative piece, including different forms and materials that can hold and display the work.
I will offer examples of projects based on Cento, Haiku/Renga, and Zuihitsu, among others, and the group will write together to create some form of Collaborative Poetics to share and leave with the larger Festival.
