PLEASE NOTE: participants in the second session must have attended the first.
Writers are invited to take part in a two-part poetry workshop responding to the works of artists Emily Floyd and Louise Menzies within the two current exhibitions: Vital Machinery and Keeping it Complex, Keeping it Connected.
In the first workshop session Neale will give an introductory talk about ekphrastic poetry, and participants will write poems in a guided exercise in response to specific artworks. In the second session, using the poems created in the first workshop, participants will then be guided by Neale through a mixture of collaborative feedback and editing, with a cut-up exercise on the poems that sprung from the first session.
Emma Neale is a Dunedin based writer, editor, occasional creative writing tutor and the mother of two sons. Her collections of poetry are Sleeve-notes and How to Make a Million (both from Random House) and Spark (from Steele Roberts) The Truth Garden, Tender Machines, and To the Occupant (all from Otago University Press).
