Working from Louis >Zukofsky's idea that poetry can be evaluated within >the range of "lower level speech, upper level music", >we'll explore ways to locate the musicality of >different kinds of poetry and we'll ask what makes a >poem tick. During the workshop we'll read poems that >adhere to metrical forms and we'll also look at "Open >Verse" poems. In addition we'll write some poems of >our own. > >Lisa Jarnot is the author of three full-length >collections of poetry including Black Dog Songs (Flood >Editions, Chicago). She is currently completing a >biography of the San Francisco poet Robert Duncan >which will be published by University of California >Press in 2006. She lives in New York City and teaches >in the Creative Writing Program at Brooklyn College. > >To register call (414) 263-5001. >__ >Understanding & Revealing >Characters in Fiction >with Martha Bergland >2pm-5pm >$25/20 members > >Compelling fiction contains characters that draw >empathy from the reader. In this workshop we will >study and learn different techniques that help us know >the characters in our fiction, (and therefore their >conflicts). Through this deeper level of understanding >we can build characters that intrigue and captivate >our readers. > >Martha Bergland's first novel, A Farm Under A Lake, >was published 1989 by Graywolf Press, and by Vintage >Books, Bloomsbury in England, Bonniers in Sweden, and >Krueger in Germany. Graywolf published her novel Idle >Curiosity in 1997. Bergland's essays, poems, and short >stories are widely published in literary journals. Her >short story, "An Embarrassment of Ordinary Riches", >was awarded a Pushcart Prize and was included in >Pushcart's anthology, Love Stories for the Rest of Us. >Bergland taught English for many years at Milwaukee >Area Technical College. > >To register call (414) 263-5001. > >For more information on the whole weekend visit: >http://www.woodlandpattern.org/gallery/25th_celebration.shtml > > >Woodland Pattern Book Center >720 E.
