Dream Poetics: Mining Dreams & Dream-Logics for Your Writing
Saturday, April 27th 3-5pm
A fun, generative poetry-writing workshop for all skill-levels that will explore the creative potentials of dreams & dream-logic. We will 1) discuss the aesthetics & logics of dreams, 2) explore ways to incorporate dream-logics into our writing, 3) consider published poems' use of dreams & dream-logic, 4) write in response to prepared prompts, & 5) walk away with personal strategies for using dream poetics in writing.
 
The workshop will be led by Mathias Svalina, the author of five books, most recently The Wine-Dark Sea from Sidebrow books. He is an editor for the Portland-based Octopus Books, & runs a Dream Delivery Service. You can learn more about the Dream Delivery Service at dreamdeliveryservice.com.
 
All ages & skill-levels welcome. Bring only paper & writing utensil. Free workshop. Donations welcome, but not required.
