Writing Workshop: Falling Down, Rising Up – Poetry with Sherry Robbins (May 2020)
$95.00 – $125.00
Dates: Tuesday, May 12, 19, & 26, 2020
Time: 5:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m.
Visit the underworld through ancient poems like The Descent of Inanna and Dante’s Inferno, as well as passages from Robert Macfarlane’s UnderLand, then imagine your own descent. What would it look and sound like? Why might you go? Who else is there? White Rabbits? Flatterers? Your sister?
Then consider rising up. What, specifically, lightens and elevates you? We’ll look at some examples of ecstatic poetry and make our own earthly paradise through words.
Please note the following workshop requirements:
- Limit one ticket per purchase.
- Any tickets purchased at the member price require a current Just Buffalo membership.
