Words as pictures and film
Monday May 27th - Saturday June 1st 2019
The Hurst
In poetry, words are both things in themselves and the triggers that conjure the images and sequences that lie at the core. This course will concentrate on the power of such images in both shorter and longer forms. We will think about street photography and film clips that become a narrative without completely filling out a story, but also about poetic forms, both set and discovered, where such images can prosper. People might bring along examples of street photography snipped from newspaper and magazines but we will not be dependent on these.
