We’ll discuss our motivations for centering our poems on food, as well as the potential pitfalls, via close reading of several canonical and contemporary models. Sykes Chapel, Room 107B Playwriting Workshop. “The Pleasures of Playwriting and Recipes to Feed the Audience: Appetites, Sensuality, Characters, and Themes”—Frances Auld (Registration fee required) Cultural cannibals (aka playwrights) are alive to the pleasure of consuming ourselves with literary/theatrical productions. We ask how we can use senses and sensuality to enrich our work? We endeavor to unleash sensation in a person sitting in the audience, distinct from the real imagined action on stage. We will develop recipes for writing that whet and fulfill sensory appetite. To paraphrase Chaucer, to teach (or get them to sit still), we must first delight.
