This question is at the heart of this four-week programme as we unravel the complex impulses and inspirations that go into the poetic pursuit and how these can ignite our writings. \nFor too long\, poetry has been taught and mined for meaning first. As T. S. Eliot says: “Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.” That’s the beautiful power of poetry which can excavate even as your mind has yet to unravel it. \nBy interrogating one’s own motivations and then embracing the poetic imagination\, this series of workshops will take you through the various stages of verse fruition\, from harnessing the initial spark (of hope\, or fear\, or both)\, to examining the armoury of tools for self-expression (through other art forms such as films and music)\, to ascertaining the range of approaches which best steer and keep you on the edge\, and to finally unleashing the poems to the outside world\, come what may. \nEvery week\, participants will be encouraged to write prompt-led poetry\, and share their poems and opinions on each other’s work. \nCourse Objectives\n\nTo introduce participants the joys of appreciating poetry\nTo acquire the basic tenets of poetry and how participants can start writing their own poems via hands-on exercises\nTo learn from other art forms such as films and music and be sensitised to worldly inspirations\n\nLearning Outcomes:\n\nAppreciate the artistic richness of poetry\nEnhance your writing skills through exercises and sharing sessions\nExplore multifarious creative outlets through other art forms and expand your creative repertoire\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme Itinerary\nFirst Session: THE SPARK (17 February 2024)\nHow does an idea for a poem come about? How does one allow an embryo of a feeling\, a concept\, or an issue\, to evolve and develop? This session delves into the factors to consider when trying to give voice to a spark. Whether it’s a memory\, a person\, or an artificial prompt\, it can help you to confront the genuine root for that poetic investigation\, and how we can start afresh\, abuzz\, ready for all possibilities. \nSecond Session: THE ARMOURY (24 February 2024)\nYou’ve got an iota of an idea\, but where do we go from here? This session introduces the formal strategies – form\, rhythm\, imagery – which anchor your poetic expression. Aside from the tried-and-tested\, we will also get to learn from other artforms such as films and music\, and know the more experimental\, and outre projects which can revise and enrich our notions of what poetry can be. \nThird Session: THE EXPOSURE (2 March 2024)\nWhen is a poem done? This session looks at the hard but essential task of knowing when and how to end a poem\, and as a collection\, how to structure and sequence one’s manuscript. \nFourth Session: THE VULNERABILITY (9 March 2024)\nHow do you know if your poem is good enough to let it out? This is where rigorous editing\, self-critique and a good hide (thick skin) will come in handy. This session will involve you to stand apart from your work\, examine the pitfalls\, kill your darlings. It will end in a poetry recital where participants will share their takeaways and their newly-minted poetry. \n\n\n\n\nProgramme Details:\nDate: 17 & 24 February\, 2 & 9 March 2024\, Saturday\nTime: 10.00 am – 1.00 pm\nVenue: SBC Training Room\, Goodman Arts Centre\,\nBlk E\, #03-32 (Directions below in FAQ section)\n\n\n\n\nAbout trainer:\nYeow Kai Chai is a poet\, fiction writer\, and editor.
