Poetry Workshop - New Angles and Directions
Jan Owen, 2008 Newcastle Poetry Prize Judge, will be presenting a special
workshop at the Hunter Writers Centre in November.
New Angles and Directions: poems and prose poems with Jan Owen
We can travel further, deeper, darker with our poems. There is a place for
the irrational, the weird, and the oblique in the poetic plot. Following
intuition, the weird logic of the image and the quiet subversions of words
themselves we can create alternative realities, odd fables, surreal
scenarios, word play in free verse and traditional forms as well as in prose
poems. Taking an unusual angle on the ordinary; resisting rational closure
