If a picture is worth a thousand words, then an unexpected image is worth a million. Poet William Carlos Williams famously said, “No ideas but in things.” It is the tangible, the touchable, and the unexpected that keep the reader engaged. In this two-hour craft intensive, learn from award-winning poet, educator, and editor Kelly Grace Thomas how to use unexpected images to create, surprise, punch, and power. Or how to use surprising imagery to resuscitate even the most unruly draft.
In this workshop, participants will:
Create surprise through imagery and detail
Examine what makes one image lift and another fall flat
Replace bland exposition with unforgettable images
Keep readers wanting more by utilizing the art of surprise
