Thanks to Sandra Thibodeaux (Australia Poetry’s Poet in residence for 2011) for her challenging disturbing the poem workshop at the SA Writers Centre on Wednesday night. Sandra had us submit work to her weeks ahead of the session and challenged us to rewrite our own (and others’) poems in different voices, from alternate points of view, with improved endings and better titles. I especially appreciated the obvious time and thought that she’d put into all of our work in preparation for the night. If you get the opportunity to do this workshop, take it!
