In this workshop led by American Book Award winner Allison Hedge Coke, we will study musical genres, influences, and elements that will develop our knowledge of structure and momentum so that we can infuse our lines with lyricism, sound, and rhythm from beginning to end.
Through examination of poetry ranging from ancient Greece to the best contemporary pieces, we will study techniques poets use to create erotic imagery with skill and taste.
Are you a storyteller? Have you ever considered how to push the boundaries of what storytelling could be? Ever wondered what blending genres of horror, folktales and traditional stories, as well as magical imaginings, could mean for your work? In this generative writing workshop for adults 16+, we will explore short stories, poems and hybrid pieces that unlock the strange, the magical, the grotesque, and the beautiful that we find in our everyday lives. You will have the opportunity to find the weird in the ordinary, explore traditional stories and urban legends, and reimagine realities.
Student Artists will create an original work of visual art and author an original poem as they explore Ekphrastic Poetry for National Poetry Month. This special series of workshops will be led by San Antonio’s Poet Laureate, Andrea “Vocab” Sanderson, in partnership with Gemini Ink. Open to High School Students. Free to apply.
