Automatic Writing: A Surreal Spin on Poetry

Description: This workshop will explore generative writing practices and ideas. Eric Unger will work with students to approach writing as a form of “dictation.” Looking at the work of poet Jack Spicer, students will focus on ideas such as “poet as a spirit medium.” Students will learn ways to channel the outside world into their own poetry. This approach to writing is fun and a great method to break old writing habits, and find creative ideas wherever you are.

Prerequisites: None.

Authorizations: None.
