Brendan Constantine The Art of Getting It Wrong – LIVE Poetry October 31 to November 4, 2022 Number of Participants: 12 Price: $575.00 Format: 1 Week - LIVE Zoom Workshop

LIVE via ZOOM: 7pm-9pm (Eastern)

Blinded by the blank page? Poet Brendan Constantine presents a special week-long edition of his generative workshop “The Art of Getting It Wrong.” Participants will liberate their strongest poetry by embracing its most common obstacles, including their own perceived limitations. In addition to creating new poems, students will discuss the problems of saying the “unsayable.” And, they’ll explore how writer’s block is seldom a shortage of magic—that it is, in fact, a surplus of judgement.
