Explore poetry’s collision with the dictionary and re-make language for your own purposes - taught by Kate Potts.
Dictionary-maker Samuel Johnson described himself as ‘a poet doomed at last to wake a lexicographer’. How might poets use, celebrate and critique the dictionary in their work? Explore poetry’s collision with the dictionary through the work of Kei Miller, Mary Kinzie, Solmaz Sharif and Sarah Howe. We will experiment with dictionary definition form, Oulipan dictionary-related constraints, and dialect words, re-making the language for our own poetic purposes.
One-day workshop from 10:30am to 4:30pm on Saturday 24th June.
