In Orbit: Poetry in Space
Vancouver Public Library Presents
About
An orbit is a regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around another. It can also be used to describe a sphere of influence. In this workshop, you will be invited to generate poetry inspired by the celestial and the everyday.
What influences you, orbits you? What might your favourite planet reveal about a daily task? This workshop is an invitation to consider your own cultural relationship to the stars and is designed for anyone interested in learning how to create unexpected images, with a focus on metaphor and poetic research.
