About the Workshop
The Art of Sound In Poetry
This two-hour session will delve into the captivating world of sound in poetry. All you need for
this workshop is a notebook and your favorite writing tools (or a computer if you prefer writing
digitally).
During this workshop, we will investigate the use of consonant sounds in poetry, examining how
they contribute to the overall atmosphere of a poem. We will also explore related sounds in
phonetics, which can help us to enhance our poems and expand our creative possibilities.
Additionally, we will discuss how repeating certain sounds in a poem can subconsciously impact
the audience and learn how to utilize this technique to increase engagement with our work.
$5 at the door/ snacks provided
Litrary programs are presented in partnership with South Fulton Institue and sponsored by Poets&Witers.
