To:
Two–Day Poetry Workshop
on 15-16 September 2012
British Council, Bangalore
in association with Toto Funds the Arts (TFA),
is pleased to announce a two-day poetry workshop which will be conducted by
Gieve Patel.
About the workshop:
Patel will read a set of master poems by some of the greatest poets from different countries (translated into English), and some great poems written originally in English. These poems will be discussed with the participants. Following the study of each master poem, participants will be given time to write their own poems, which may be based on some of the insights gained by the study of the master poem. However, the participant will be encouraged to bring some of his/her own life experiences into the writing of the poem. Patel will look at the poems produced, and will discuss them with the writer and occasionally with the whole group. The workshop is based on Patel's belief that it is not possible to write significant poetry if one is not first a reader of significant poetry. The workshop will encourage participants to continue with their reading of good poetry in years to come. Should participants have specific questions to ask about the writing of poetry, these too could be discussed with the group at some point during the workshop.
About the facilitator:
GIEVE PATEL is a painter and writer. Of his three published books of verse, the latest is Mirrored, Mirroring (OUP, 1991). His poems are included in several anthologies in India and abroad. Mister Behram and Other Plays, a collection of his plays, was published by Seagull Books, Kolkata, in 2007. He has been conducting poetry workshops for students at Rishi Valley School, Andhra Pradesh, for the past 18 years. His paintings are in public and private collections in India and abroad. He is a recipient of several awards including a Rockefeller Fellowship at the University of Chicago and a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship at Washington D.C.
