Poetry is rooted in metaphor, in which we see the similarity, the oneness, in disparate things. In this workshop, we'll discuss the use of metaphor in poetry -- how it works to enact emotional authenticity and create a bond between the poet and the reader. We'll look at sample poems to see how metaphor works and I'll provide practical advice for writing more vivid metaphors. We'll do a writing exercise using metaphor and we'll have a chance to share our writing.
