Poetry As Self Discovery October 5, 12, 19, & 26, 2014 At San Diego Writers, Ink 2:00 P.M. To 4:00 P.M. To Register sandiegowriters.org/0921-poetry-as-self-discovery-with-jim-moreno/ Inspirations Gallery NTC @ Liberty Station 2730 Historic Decatur Rd. Barracks 16 Suite 204 San Diego, CA 92106 NEW DATES! This course assists the poet with moving from personal threads, to string, to chord, to rope to bridge in the writer’s inner quest of self-discovery. Beginning with the amplification of a container of safety strengthened by the personal, familial, and cultural values of each poet, this course discovers the writer’s muse through diverse narrative poetry forms. Verse with roots in Persia, Asia, Native America, as well as poetry from the instructors’ personal library ( The Rag & Bone Shop of the Heart, Bill Moyers’ The Language of Life, and The San Diego Poetry Annual 2011-2013) will whet the poetic appetite of writers hungry, not only for writing in community, but writing with passion. Composition, craft, and revision are strengthened by comparison of basic human themes as seen from cultural windows and understanding one culture can inform and heal another. The class is designed to be useful to both beginning and seasoned poets and all interested parties can join this course without taking a prior course.
