Styrian Summer Art: Poetry and Short Prose – Writing Workshop with Semier Insayi
General Information
Workshop Description:
"Inspiration is – in one word – just the reward of daily practice." Baudelaire
In these days, there should be time for writing, listening, reading, thinking, feeling, and encountering. With great joy and eagerness to create space to work on our own poems and texts and to talk and reflect together about inspiration, production, and the resulting works.
The goal is to arrive at specific prompts for our own poems and texts, to get closer to our own works, to find a respectful approach without having to do without serious and productive criticism, so that each individual can artistically further develop their own individual poetic energy.
This workshop takes place in cooperation with the "Literary Courses".
