Description

This 4-session workshop features a highly original teaching method George perfected in America's Pacific Northwest, stimulating your writing through exercises bases on re-discovering and using your imaginative and word-play skills. The basis of this workshop is to rekindle your ability to play with language and practice your skill at triggering ideas for new poems. As a four week course, the workshop also includes the additional element of editing and fine turning poems. All presented in a friendly group setting. 

"A fantastic workshop that bounces with energy. I loved the immediacy of it, playing word games, brainstorming ideas, modeling off others, writing for a few minutes and instantly feeding it back to the group" - Sarah Miller 

"The best results I've received from any of the many workshops I've organized" - Linda Graham

Author of 29 chapbooks of poetry and a literary editor for Poetrybay, Great Weather for Media and the Long Island Quarterly, George Wallace is writer in residence at the Walt Whitman Birthplace, first Poet Laureate of Suffolk County, and a writing instructor at Pace University and Westchester Community College.
