Drawing inspiration from A Book of Surrealist Games by Alastair Brotchie, we will dive deep into the silly and the surreal to wake up our poems. Like the surrealists, we will explore generative techniques including question-and-answer, centos, and palindromes, and we will experiment with automatic writing inspired by music. With out-of-the-box approaches, we will break out of our usual habits and re-learn why play is an essential ingredient of creation.
