Have you always wanted to write poetry, but don\u2019t know how to start? Maybe you already write poems\u00a0and are looking for a good excuse to spend a weekend delving deeper? Maybe your writing feels \u00a0a little bland and you want to explore other forms that could help you break out of old patterns.<\/p>\n
In this single-day poetry workshop, renowned\u00a0poet, editor and performer Sara Larsen will guide you through a series of exercises and discussions to help you unearth your unique poetic voice.<\/p>\n
You will immerse yourself in a variety of poetic forms from across the globe \u2013 the sonnet, ballad, ghazal, pantoum, ode, tanka and more (!) \u2014and practice composing your own poems. You will study each form in-depth, while also engaging with avant-garde approaches that break, subvert, and reinvent the forms. You\u2019ll both learn the rules AND learn how to break them, so you can explore possibilities outside your pre-established writing boundaries.\u00a0This class will be engaging, experimental, playful and generative. You will walk away with a clutch of new poems and a multitude of ideas for your future work,\u00a0whatever genre or form it may be.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"poetry-workshop","image":{"url":"https:\/\/circus-berlin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2022_06_Webfile-scaled.jpg","id":7895,"extension":"jpg","width":2560,"height":1686,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":198,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/circus-berlin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2022_06_Webfile-300x198.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":674,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/circus-berlin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2022_06_Webfile-1024x674.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/circus-berlin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2022_06_Webfile-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":506,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/circus-berlin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2022_06_Webfile-768x506.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":1012,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/circus-berlin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2022_06_Webfile-1536x1012.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"width":2048,"height":1349,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/circus-berlin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2022_06_Webfile-2048x1349.jpg"}},"original_image":"2022_06_Webfile.jpg"},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2022-06-25 13:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2022","month":"06","day":"25","hour":"13","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2022-06-25 17:30:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2022","month":"06","day":"25","hour":"17","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2022-06-25 11:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2022","month":"06","day":"25","hour":"11","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2022-06-25 15:30:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2022","month":"06","day":"25","hour":"15","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"Europe\/Berlin","timezone_abbr":"CEST","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Apartment","slug":"apartment-de-2","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":81,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":841,"filter":"raw","id":81,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/circus-berlin.de\/de\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/81","collection":"https:\/\/circus-berlin.de\/de\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Hostel","slug":"hostel-de-2","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":82,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":869,"filter":"raw","id":82,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/circus-berlin.de\/de\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/82","collection":"https:\/\/circus-berlin.de\/de\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Hotel","slug":"hotel-de-2","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":83,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":841,"filter":"raw","id":83,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/circus-berlin.de\/de\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/83","collection":"https:\/\/circus-berlin.de\/de\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[{"name":"Behind The Curtain","slug":"behind-the-curtain-de","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":80,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":345,"filter":"raw","id":80,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/circus-berlin.de\/de\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/80","collection":"https:\/\/circus-berlin.de\/de\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}}],"venue":[],"organizer":[],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"WORKSHOP: Fantastic Forms: A Poetry Starter Kit with Sara Larsen","description":"<p>Have you always wanted to write poetry, but don\u2019t know how to start?
