Workshop title:
Invisible tattoos revealed (Yr 11,12)
Lauren Williams, recently featured on ABC TV's book programme,
"The last word", will present her clear, upbeat and
occasionally funny poetry, including poems from her recent book
Invisible tattoos (Five Islands Press 2000). Her subjects range
from panel vans and love to supermodels and sport. The tone
will be informal. Lauren will chat about how she became a poet,
her writing process, and is happy to tackle hard questions from
the audience, such as: If it doesn't rhyme, what makes it poetry?
How do you know when to end the line? How much does a poet earn?
Why is most poetry boring? BYO burning poetry questions. |
