Part of the weekly Milk Press Virtual Workshop series, produced by the Poetry Society of New York.With guest instructor Kate BelewWhat can our writing reveal? Much like tarot, pendulums, or tea leaves, poetry can reveal messages. The divinatory arts have been called upon by artists for centuries to peer beyond the veil and connect with the muse. Pull back what we see as "meaning" to gaze behind the sentences, the poems, and the nuances of language to receive messages from the subconscious. In this workshop, you'll be guided to channel and divine all through the medium of poetry. We'll discuss... 1. Automatic Writing: what is it and how do we do it?2. Channeling: opening the channel, listening, intuition as a poetic practice3. Divination and the power of a perfectly chosen wordYou can expect to access your own inner magic and Word Witch (no experience required!). All you'll need to bring is your Grimoire (notebook), Wand (writing utensil), questions (if you've got 'em), and your magical self.**This virtual workshop will be held over Zoom. You should receive a link in your confirmation email.**
