Escape into the Unexpected
Poetry Workshop
Free your mind…
… to find your words
From an early age we are taught that there is a correct and incorrect way to speak, to write, to organize ideas. One of the greatest challenges of writing poetry is to escape that internal editor and allow ourselves to be surprised.
Join award-winning poet Jane Medved in a series of six weekly workshops in which we will examine various techniques to outwit our rational brain and “write ahead of our conscious minds."
We will study the techniques of other writers and put into practice the art of startling ourselves. Class time will be spent on editing and refining our own poems, as well as generating new material.
This workshop is for writers with experience.

Not to take them at face value, but dig deeper. Jane has shined a whole new light on my process of writing.' - G.G.
'I'm now starting the second poetry workshop that Jane Medved is teaching through WriteSpace Jerusalem. I signed up for the second installment because the first course was one of the best writing workshop experiences I've had. Jane is an excellent teacher. I highly recommend Jane's class as a framework both for generating poetry and for refining poetic technique. - S.A. |
