Your Pictures as Poetry: Writing From Your Photo Stream
May 5, 2023 @ 4:45 pm - 5:45 pm
Our photo streams show what we care about and hope to preserve, what moves and mystifies us, the people, places and experiences that bring meaning into our lives. Writing poetry and prose from photos allows us to express the truth of what we feel – and know – and haven’t said, as we capture the beauty and deeper meaning of an image in words. Writing from photos allows us to approach our pictures with an awareness of powerful hidden meanings and revelations worthy of development. Whether you’re writing poetry or prose, memoir or a blog, family history or a monologue, your personal photos will be an excellent prompt to compelling writing. Please bring 1-3 personal photos to write from.
