Write the Poetry of Your Dreams: Using Dreams, Nightmares, and Daydreams In Your Writing Access to the subconscious is indirect, and writers often seek techniques that help make this elusive part of every person more accessible. Join author Barbara Minney, who will help participants wield their dreams, daydreams, and even the terrifying spectacles our brains force upon us to write better poetry. She will also explore writing techniques to help serve as a catalyst to better facilitate these creative expressions, including blackout/erasure and tailored free writing. Hosted by Barbara Minney Saturday, April 30th. on Zoom. Time TBA.
