Saturday, October 21, 11:00am-1:00pm. Words Aloud, Community Poetry Workshop at M’Wikwedong Indigenous Friendship Centre, Owen Sound ON. Sounding the Muse: "Calling in the Muse, sound poet Penn Kemp presents the three stages of writing a poem: invocation, expression, and communication. This workshop explores new ways of reaching the source of creativity, evoking your Muse through sound to give form to poetry. Participants will experience the innovative power of sound poetry. Through sounding, we will tap the energy and source of inspiration. Then we will explore finding language to shape the inklings of your poem. Participants will develop an abundance of ideas and images, an enhanced awareness of structure, and more ease and delight in showing or performing work."
