Surrealism as an art form is far more than an ancient Dadaist movement: Surrealism is also a fun technique for perceiving and representing the world in ways that transcend normative perspectives.

Using poetic techniques (word games, intellectual assaults) from the Surrealism Book of Games, this workshop will allow participants to be delighted and astonished by what they can do in only one workshop!

Stealing tools from the original surrealists, in fun group activities, we will generate magical sparks of creativity. Plus, every participant will go home with wonderful seeds for new poems!

This seminar is perfect for new, emerging, and established poets interested in a transformative, fun, generative workshop (yes, we will be writing!).

This is a seminar for the unexpected, for a moment of joy captured in a short time. For the unpolished gem. Indeed, surrealism is more than a parlor game. Each participant will leave with a seedling for a new poem and new-found sense of poetic "playfulness."

During our time in class, we'll read and explore examples of surrealistic poetry (past and current).
