Poetry as an Act of Attention

Description
Instructor
In a world that often feels too loud, the simple act of paying attention becomes a radical form of care. This generative workshop invites you to slow down and allow your “serious noticing” to guide you into new patterns of thought. Drawing inspiration from across the arts including film, music, and painting, we will explore how different mediums can sharpen our internal lens. This class offers a sanctuary to experiment, observe, and generate new work that explores the possibilities of our attention.
