Documentary poetry provokes readers to think critically about issues relevant to society while appreciating the poet’s use of poetic form, language, and imagery. Crafting documentary poetry is experimental and involves responding to visual art (film, photography, paintings, political cartoons, mixed-media art), music lyrics, content from historical archives, print media (newspapers, magazines), official documents (legal records, written correspondence, medical records, testimonials), and/or resource materials (advertisements, pamphlets). Join Wiradjuri poet and critic Jeanine Leane for a masterclass in crafting nonfiction documentary poetry.
Participant requirements: writers can bring any material they may wish to respond to, but it is not essential. Material will also be provided.
