Fall Workshops at The Writer's Center--registration is open!!

Inspired by World Poets:  A Writing Workshop

Dates: September 6–October 11 (6 Tuesdays), 7:00-9:30 P.M.

Cost: $270
Workshop Leader: Yvette Neisser Moreno

In this workshop, we will look at contemporary poets from around the globe for inspiration and new directions in our own work. Each week, we will read the work of one poet, then write a poem inspired by that poet’s style, form, or subject matter. Class sessions will include a brief discussion of the readings, followed by critique of students’ poems. Readings may include Homero Aridjis (Mexico), Kim Chi-Ha (Korea), Mahmoud Darwish (Palestine), Herta Müller (Germany-Romania), Wislawa Symborska (Poland), and others.

Poetry Translation

Dates: October 25–November 29 (6 Tuesdays), 7:00-9:30 P.M.

Cost: $270
Workshop Leader: Yvette Neisser Moreno

This workshop is an opportunity to try your hand—or hone your skills—at translating poetry from any language into English. The only prerequisites are a love of poetry and sufficient knowledge of another language to be able to translate with the help of a dictionary. We will examine some published translations and treatises, but the emphasis will be on “workshopping” students’ translations through the lens of poetry.

BOTH WORKSHOPS WILL BE HELD AT THE WRITER’S CENTER, 4508 WALSH STREET, BETHESDA, MD 20815.
