TPF2024 POETRY WORKSHOP with ROBYN ROWLAND
About
"Silence, its Dialects, and the Passion that Forms Them"Music is enhanced by its necessary partner, silence. So too, poetry needs space to breathe. Writing comes out of silence and returns to it, leaving a trace. In living, silence is both the shadow and the light. Meditation and prayer enter silence and carry it. In relationships, silence can be the threat of rejection; represent the loneliness of despair. Is our voice carried into absence? Invisibility? Secret-keeping arises too from silence and families are involved in shrouding truth. Deafness brings silence but what are the differences between this silence and peace?
This workshop will discuss the many shapes of silence.
Each workshop involves a talk and discussion of poem and of images supplied, followed by a guided reflective moment, followed by writing towards the topic and feedback for each participant. Each participant is given notes to keep which relate to the theme as well as copies of Robyn’s and other works.
