“Using Sonic Devices in Poetry Writing”
Join Tamara Nicholl-Smith for “Using Sonic Devices in Poetry Writing”
This workshop will strengthen connections to the sounds of poetry in both our reading and our writing.
Tuesdays, Oct. 24, 31, 2023, 7:00 p.m. CST, Virtual Class
The purpose of this workshop is to strengthen our connection to the “out loud” sounds of poetry in both reading and writing.
Do you speak poems out loud as you read or write them? What do you hear in your head if you are reading silently? How do poems connect to our bodies?
In this highly interactive workshop, we will explore the sonic dimension of poetry through an examination of and experimentation with time-tested sonic devices, a review of exemplar poems, and both in and out of class writing
Tamara Nichol-Smith’s poetry has appeared on two Albuquerque city bus panels, one parking meter, numerous radio shows, a spoken-word classical piano fusion CD, and in several publications, including The Examined Life Journal, Catholic Arts Today and America. Her poem on Saint Jerome is part of the display of the Guttenberg Bible being installed at the University of Saint Thomas. Tamara is a member of Catholic Literary Arts and a contributor to the “Joy of Catholic Poetry” presentation done at parishes, schools, and universities. She enjoys puns and will laugh at your dad jokes.
