Workshop – How to Write a Poem with Ariel Gordon
Have you ever wondered how to rip a phone book in half? Or how to survive in the woods? Or, even, how to seduce a woman…in poetry? By the end of this workshop with poet Ariel Gordon, designed to open up your writing process via a variety of writing exercises, you’ll have tried your hand at all them.
Ariel Gordon is a Winnipeg-based writer and editor. Recent publications include a chapbook of travel poetry entitled Guidelines: Malaysia & Indonesia, 1999, with Edmonton’s Rubicon Press. Some of Ariel’s how-to poems were recently published in Guelph art/lit mag Carousel and shortlisted for Arc’s 2009 Poem of the Year Contest. She is a regular contributor to the Winnipeg Free Press’ books section and, each September, is Blogger-in-Chief of HOT AIR, the official blog of THIN AIR (i.e. the Winnipeg International Writers Festival). Finally, her first full collection of poetry, Hump, is slated for publication with Palimpsest Press in May 2010.
