Learning from Pablo Neruda (in English translation): An eight-week online poetry writing workshop at the Online School of Poetry led by Tom Daley (http://onlineschoolofpoetry.org/TomDaleyWorkshop.html)
Exercises will be given in writing, under the influence of the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971), the ode to an elemental thing, a love poem beginning “I Remember you as you were,” a narrative poem about a fantastical character in an everyday scene, a poem about a place that has changed, an excoriating diatribe, and a poem about the end of a love affair. Participants will be required to radically revise one of the poems written during the workshop and will write two critiques each week of other participants’ poems. Advice on publishing will be offered by the instructor to those interested.
Dates: May 2-June 27, 2010
Cost: $335 (includes a $10 registration fee)
New participants should send three poems in the body of the text box of an e-mail (no attachments, please!) to the instructor at tom@onlineschoolofpoetry.org.
Tom Daley is also available for one-on-one tutorials, manuscript editing, and advice in publication for both poetry and memoir writers. Contact him at tom.daley2@verizon.net for more information.
