WOORDEN WORDEN ZINNEN: WORKSHOP AJA MONET (VS)
Thursday 14 November 2019 2019
Brooklyn poet Aja Monet is coming back to The Netherlands for a poetry workshop on Thursday October 14th at PAARD, to surprise us again with her breathtaking poetry.
This workshop is an exploration of the power of metaphor and simile in our every day lives, and how language shapes and arranges our world, as well as our ability to imagine a new one.
Join Aja Monet for an intimate and holistic poetry workshop where we will create new work and share what is discovered with one another. You don’t have to write poetry to be a poet, however all poets see the power of poetics in everyday life. Let’s celebrate the human search for meaning and encourage the strength of our inner voice.
With a ticket to this workshop you have free access to visit poetry event Woorden Worden Zinnen, which starts after the workshop.
