You will transform your day into poetry and fiction. You will make poems and stories from everyday details of your life.
We will read and then write poems and stories starting from close observation of our day, from waking to preparing coffee and bread, to recalling a dream, to answering a nagging question from the night’s quarrel, to walking in the woods, to calling a friend for a chat, to starting a virtual session with a client, or putting on a jacket and catching a bus and taking it to the metro and then an office.
