POETRY Writing WORKSHOP WITH DR JUDITH CRISPIN

Writing the photograph

This workshop is open to beginner, emerging and established poets. Over three hours Judith will guide attendees through the beginning and refining of new poems, responding to photographic images through reflection, close observation, memory and vision. Focussing primarily on free verse, this workshop will develop your poetic voice. Some of the points that will be covered will include: the poetic voice, revision techniques, writing the photograph, real people and places, cadence and rhythm and how time works in the poem. Judith has published two books of poetry, one with photographs. 
 
Attendees will need to bring writing materials and a copy of one printed photograph (copies only please). Registration is $40 (free for indigenous participants). For more information call Steve Marshall on 0437 660 737.

POETRY REVIEW, THE AUSTRALIAN, 2016

Dr Judith Crispin is a conservatorium-trained composer who has completed postdoctoral work in Paris and Berlin. This goes some way to explaining the beautifully paced music of her lines, and the prominence of wintry German landscapes. The way the classic and contemporary intersect with the transcendent in these sharp and elegant poems invites a reader to return to them often, and with profit.
