The Archaeology of Writing with Robyn Rowland (SOLD OUT)
Saturday 24 August 2024 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM (UTC+10)
The processes of writing are often like an archaeological dig and use similar processes: turning over artefacts, considering stratification, piecing together fragments, blowing away the dust of memory.
Narratives emerge in archaeology to explain the material finds and so too is creative writing a project of storytelling. This workshop will consider the use of archaeology to create a present message or memory.
Each participant will be given notes to keep relating to the topic, as well as copies of poems which exemplify themes. The workshop involves a talk by the presenter, followed by a guided reflective moment, time for writing towards the topic and finally individual feedback in the group for each participant.
Up to 12 participants aged 18+. For beginners to more advanced poets.
Tickets $30pp OR $20pp for Geelong Regional Libraries Members (free to join) OR $10 for Concession holders.
