SUMMARY:The Ojai Art Center Presents: Robert Peake On "Emulation\, Originality\, And The Writing Tradition"
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/206474/ ] A free evening of poetry\, lecture\, and interactive discussion focused on poetry and the writing life. This talk will center around the writing tradition\, drawing on examples from poetry but suitable to any kind of writer - or even just avid readers interested in the writing process. We will explore the power of emulation through concrete examples from a variety of poems by Peake and others\, and look at how reading widely and emulating other writers can actually enhance an author's originality. Enjoy a rare opportunity to hear both poetry and thoughts on writing from an active local poet.
