Online Cultural Course PiVOTAL
The word "poetry" may be the most ambiguous word in the world. The more diverse the ways in which each person practices poetry, the more enjoyable and rich it becomes. Everyone is welcome: those who write poetry, those who love to read poetry, those who want to start writing, and those who are tired of conventional ideas. Let's think about poetry, not skillfully but clumsily, by banging our heads together a lot.
Poetry Workshop Poetry Etcetera
Poetry Workshop 180 minutes
Lecturer: Akiko Fujiwara
In this workshop, you can present your own poems. After the presentation, all participants will critique the work. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a place where poets and their listeners can actively exchange opinions. Anyone who values poetry can participate, whether they are writing poetry for the first time or have been writing alone for many years.
At the beginning of the workshop, there will be a section called "I Recommend..." where each participant will introduce a piece of work that they are currently interested in (literature, film, art, travelogue, etc.).
Discover the essence of poetry hidden in every corner of the world and discuss poetry in depth and breadth.
