Description

InVerse will connect word and wonder, image and imagination, questions and quests. Yeats famously said: Out of our quarrel with others we make rhetoric; out of our quarrel with ourselves we make poetry. The workshop will use the form and flexibility of poetry to reflect upon our relationships with ourselves and the world that we must negotiate. Participants will be led through introspective discussions, word-associations and examples of classical and experimental poetry. From ballads to shape poems, they will go through a behind-the-scenes journey that will assist with their own writing. They will be guided to develop their poetic voice and also practice fresh ways of expression. The course will also share information related to publishing opportunities, magazines and contests related to poetry.

  1. This is one of the newer workshops Living Bridge has come up with and it is the best yet.

  2. Had a great time reading, writing, and living poetry with Pervin. She is amazing at her art. The workshop helped revive the energy and commitment I needed to write and experiment with different styles, structures and types of poetry. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the workshop.

  3. Hi Pervin,
    I am very happy that I was part of the workshop. I enjoyed myself a lot. The curated list of poems which were used as study material was mind blowing. I truly appreciate the innovation in them and the new perspectives in technique. Also, you took a lot of effort to give valuable feedback to everyone. I am definitely in for a level 2 workshop where we can take off from where we left off. Thanks a lot!
    I also appreciate the platform and support provided by Living Bridge. Thanks also for forming the whatsApp group which is a big boon for exchange of ideas and works.

    Warm regards,

  4. Pervin Saket is very charming, knowledgeable, interactive and inspirational. I enjoyed the 2 days so much that I wanted more. In fact all participants requested a part deux of the workshop. Lot of knowledge of structure of poetry and the appreciation of the art of it, woven in a profound manner!

  5. This is my second workshop with Living Bridge, and again I must say Kudos to the Living Bridge team. This was an amazing workshop. Ms. Pervin Saket, our mentor was simply phenomenal and very insightful. She taught a lot of interesting contemporary poetry writing techniques. She encouraged us to be our authentic selves which I most appreciate. As Ms. Saket states, this workshop was not just about how to write poems, rather how to become a poet, an authentic, real, honest poet! She pushed us to explore ourselves and find ways in which we can become more authentic and creative poets. She was very down to earth and gave feedback to each participant. The sessions were interactive and I picked up many tips not just from the mentor but from my fellow participants as well. Ms. Saket even conducted many interesting exercises to sharpen our writing skills. And she also provided many resources which we can work on after the workshop too. If you’re a poet, beginner or advanced, I would highly recommend this workshop. A poet/writer never stops learning. That’s my biggest takeaway from this workshop.

  6. It was a great experience. Never expected to write live poems. Hoping to attend more such events in future.

  7. Thank you Living bridge and Pervin for this incredible workshop! Loved every bit of it and what an amazing weekend this was! Pervin, apart from being an amazing poet, is an amazing teacher/facilitator! What I liked the most about the workshop was the flow of it all…the discussion on and reading different interesting forms of poetry, followed by very interesting exercises that opened up our horizons, made us bring our emotions out through writing and also pushed us to experiment with newer styles that are not our default style of writing. The overall vibe of the workshop was beautiful! I would love to do more such poetry workshops by you and specially with Pervin!

  8. Extremely pertinent content and a very proficient mentor. Was introduced to different forms of poetry, previously unknown to me, via discussions and exercises. Gave me a comprehensive view especially of the recent top-notch poets and how to create poetry on their lines. The workshop, the mentor and Living Bridge are highly recommended.

  9. For someone who hadn’t penned a poem since childhood, this session was an eye-opener as well as an inspiration. What was very useful was the blend of the poetic and the practical. Alongside showcasing examples of different genres of poetry and encouraging spontaneity in the wannabe poets, Pervin also provided tips on how to embellish our experiments and carrying them through to the publication stage. It was also great interacting with my fellow poets in the class. Thank you, Pervin, and Aziz, who made the whole process so seamless.

  10. The two-day workshop was managed, 3 hours each day, was structured well and managed wonderfully by Pervin. Good balance between learning about the craft and practice. Thank you

  11. The InVerse Poetry Writing Workshop was a wonderful introduction to the world of poetry and words. Pervin’s workshop covers the basics as well as the nuanced elements that most mentors may miss mentioning! Pervin reassured us participants to allay our fears and believe in our voices while focusing on our inner and outer sensibilities.

    I found the workshop extremely useful, especially as she shared several resources to follow up on our learning and get our writer-poet selves exposed to new and old works/forms of poets/poetry. She gave many insights into the publishing industry and editor’s requirements, apart from tips on practicing writing while learning to trust our instincts and push our boundaries of perception and knowledge. As the ‘Overview’ of the workshop aptly sums up, “InVerse will connect word and wonder, image and imagination, questions and quests.”

    I’m hoping there is a next level to this workshop, where we explore more kinds of poetry and writing methods and dig deeper into the delightful world of poetry.

  12. I learnt wonderful insights and styles of poetry and enjoyed myself with a wonderful group at Inverse Poetry Writing Workshop. Beautiful explanation by Pervin Saket and the way she put up different forms of poetry made it easier to understand and implement.
    Well coordinated and organized, appreciation to Pervin Saket, Aziz Rajabali & Living Bridge team.
    looking forward for another one like this !
