SUMMARY:Virtual Workshop with Molly Kirschner: Writing For Ourselves and Each Other\, Not the Critic
DESCRIPTION:Use the website link below to sign up for free! \nWriting For Ourselves and Each Other\, Not the Critic \nPoetry is a one-way ticket deeper into the moment; into observation\, sensation\, and interpretation\, which are the raw materials of meaning. Too often\, our own inner critic arrests us on the surface of experience\, begrudging us the voyage into significance. Through a mixture of collaborative and solitary activities\, this workshop will focus on firing the critic so that we may inhabit our practice more fully. We will play\, exchange inspirations\, and enter into a state of heightened concentration. The workshop will close with a sharing component\, in which writers will have the opportunity either to read their own work out loud or to hear someone else read it. Because we will have dispensed with the critic\, there will be no group critique; rather\, we will simply offer our poems to each other as gifts. \nAbout Molly: \nMolly Kirschner is a poet\, playwright\, performer\, and educator. Her poems have appeared in journals\nincluding The Southern Review\, The New Ohio Review\, and One Magazine\, and four of her poems\nare forthcoming in Arion: A Journal of Humanities and the Classics. Kirschner was awarded the\ninaugural poetry residency at The Hundredth Hill: “Resilience: the Poet’s Response to These Troubled\nTimes.” Her new manuscript was a finalist for the 2021 Four Way Books Levis Prize in Poetry.
