An astonishingly quickly convened workshop, the brainchild of our incredibly energetic and proactive publicity officer and Haifa Coordinator, Wendy Blumfield, took place in the home of our Membership Secretary, Susan Rosenberg, in July 2018.
The workshop was very ably led by Professor David Caplan of Ohio Wesleyan University, who was just finishing a sabbatical at Haifa University. Its The theme was Memory, and Prof. Caplan gave a detailed analysis of two poems, which exemplified different uses of memory in poetry. The exposition was followed as usual by a writing exercise.
Because of Prof. Caplan’s impending return to the United States, the workshop was organized within a few days; despite this, 15 Voices members managed to enjoy the expertise of our distinguished visitor.
There is no chapbook for this workshop, but here are a few photos from it:
