Group Work

In film, too often writers are depicted as loners, maybe a little off, situated in an isolated spot or perpetually alone in a crowd (usually a coffee shop), struggling through the writing process (typically involving paper being crinkled and tossed in disgust) or joyfully in flow (seen in a broad smile peeking over a computer laptop amidst speedy key clicks). Perhaps some truth lies therein. Perhaps. But do we really go it alone?

We writers know how others are part of our work process, whether in inspiration drawn from their work, through shared tips or discussions in workshops, or through myriad other collaborative efforts. This month’s workshop explores how we “go it together.” Let’s explore the ways writers can work together to progress in the art, craft and generation of poetry. We’ll also have some fun creating poetry alone together and as a group. Bring your ideas and be prepared to share experiences as we discover both time-tested and unique techniques and other happy surprises of group work.
