Pathway: Generate & Create
This pathway focuses on sparking imagination and creative momentum. Through prompts, exercises, and playful exploration, you'll find fresh ways to get writing and keep going.
Join Maria Giesbrecht in a generative writing workshop that explores how poems generate heat, emotional intensity, urgency, and momentum, through craft. Borrowing framework from weather maps, we will consider where energy concentrates within a poem, how pressure systems form through image and sound, and how subtle shifts in language can raise or release emotional temperature.
The class is designed as a focused lab and includes exercises for generating as well as identifying suitable material then crafting it into drafts for finished pieces. Through a layered feedback & workshop process, students clarify a project, begin drafts & devise a workable plan to complete it.
