Six Saturdays, October 12–November 23

What is the Lorcan notion of “duende”? Is duende a muse or inspiration? Is it the same as “voice”? In this workshop, we’ll think about what makes a poem move us—what gives it duende—and how to cultivate the voice as an expression of our particular selves, accessing experiences and emotions with techniques such as dream-thinking and thought-streaming.
