Elixir of Life: Free Verse Poetry

Description:

While in residence at Western Front, Tawhida Tanya Evanson facilitated Elixir of Life: Free Verse Poetry, a writing workshop for fifteen participants.

On the workshop, Evanson writes:

The human being is both stream and tsunami, yet we have difficulty flowing around obstacles. Engage with a free verse poetry that taps into the conscious and subconscious using a basic unifying substance as our guide: water. We will use text, videopoetry and tonal sound therapy to contemplate, meditate, write, edit, experiment, question, share, give and receive feedback, co-create safe space and predict the future of humankind.
 

Workshop registration included a complementary one-year subscription to The Capilano Review. 

Presented in partnership with The Capilano Review as part of their annual writers-in-residence program.
