’The List Cause’ (Open Workshop)
When does your shopping list become a poem? Is there hidden poetry in your New Year to-do’s? Find out on our latest Open Workshop with Beverley Nadin. The structure of the list can build a cumulative atmosphere, narrative or scene. Train stations, molars, fallen men… Sequential or random, protracted or efficient, informative or plain indulgent, the list is playful, recognisable, and strangely imperative. What ‘whole’ do the discrete parts seek to portray, organized in this way? How might the list poem convey tone and voice? Can a list have progression and closure? What does it convey that other modes don’t? We’ll consider examples and create poems of our own to add to the long list of lists.
Please note: this Open Workshop is now fully booked and no longer accepting applications.
