THE PROCESS OF THE POEM WITH NPP HEAD JUDGE
PHILIP SALOM |
10am - 12pm |
The Lockup, 90 Hunter Street Newcastle |
|
$15
Want to try something different? Instead of a workshop of
frowning over the micro-managing of poems - a few lines cut
here, a metaphor altered there, a sharper look at verbs, a
confused poet left at the end of it all - Philip will read
and talk through a variety of his own poems. Informative but
informal. Questioning and interaction are both welcome.
Philip will address, quite frankly, the origins and
draftings, the problems and surprises and the insights
learnt by persistent and rigorous attention to firstly the
creative rush and later the poem as its own source of
inspiration. |

11/28 |
POETS’ LUNCH |
12pm - 2pm |
The Lockup, 90 Hunter Street Newcastle |

Come and have lunch and a glass of wine with
us in the exercise yard at the Lockup. This will be an
opportunity to hear the anthology poets read from The Night
Road so please feel welcome to come along and bring your
friends.
Please RSVP for all events to Katharine at hwcadmin@optusnet.net.auor
