It's not a memoir, but it's not fiction either. Its truth resides in sentiment rather than fact. It asks as many questions as it gives answers. What exactly is confessional poetry? What makes it tick and what distinguishes it from other forms? And, finally, isn't all poetry confessional?
In this workshop we will look at famous examples of confessional poetry, explore techniques, and do writing exercises.
Date and time: 20 November, 18:30-20:00 CET
Venue: Pianofabriek, Rue du Fort 35, 1060 Saint-Gilles, Room, Calcutta
