Silence is more musical than any song 
                                                                         Christina Rossetti ​
Poetry, formed of language and music, arises out of silence, while silence remains a powerful force within the poem. In architecture and visual arts, “white space” has its own shape and size; in music the pause resonates with its own energy. 

In this four-week workshop learn how to find, maintain and drive the silence in your work in order to deepen the nature and experience of your work.

Escape into the ​
​Unexpected

April 25-June 20, 2017

Poetry Workshop (advanced)
with award-winning poet 
Jane Medved

​White Fire: The Spaces Between Words
TBD May-June, 2017


​Experiential workshop with
trained bibliotherapist & poet,

Sheffi Raiskin
Picture
​The Torah is said to have been written as black fire on white fire. We will be dealing with the realm of the white fire, the spaces between the words.

Since no text can fully delineate every aspect of the story, readers become part of the creative process, constantly filling in the gaps with their own contexts — things seen, felt, experienced, and read. Bibliotherapy deals with the ways in which we fill in these gaps. 
I'm interested
​Join award-winning poet Jane Medved in a series of 8 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.
Sounds intriguing
