This craft talk, hosted by the end/spring break and led by poet Peter Borrebach, will seek to create a useful and thoroughly modern visuo-geometric analogy for the lyrical process, to not only look into what is going on when writers and readers have lyrical experiences, but also to give ourselves, as lyrical poem-creators, new insight into our own methodologies. The talk will be highly interactive, involving several writing exercises, lively discussions, recursive equations, and fractal dimensions (please bring a pen and paper). A reading packet is available for download here. Attendees are kindly asked to read these poems in advance of the talk.

Presented by The Free School for Writing, a series of free craft talks and writing workshops at the end/spring break. Writers are invited to give talks and workshops in exchange for a forum in which to investigate any writing or literary idea, topic, or inquiry they want with a group of engaged listeners and participants. The series focuses on fiction and poetry, but can also address other forms of writing and book arts.

Hosted by SPRING BREAK at Bas Fisher Invitational (on the second floor of the Buena Vista Building - enter the atrium, take the stairs to the 2nd floor).
