Releasing the Tiger in the Poem

Poet Diana Pinckney will discuss tools poets can use to get their words on the page and write their way to the heart of a poem. Writing poetry, as Czeslaw Milosz wrote in "Ars Poetica?, can bring forth that which we didn't know we had in us "as if a tiger had sprung out / and stood in the light, lashing his tail." Diana agrees that, as we go deeper with our writing, the unexpected can leap out of the dark jungle of our hearts and minds, sprung from the depth of our being - that which Stanley Kunitz called, "The constellation of the unconscious.” Because the process of writing poetry can sometimes be as scary as the blank page, Diana will explore these ideas and discuss how the poet can meet up with their tiger to see what imaginative paths emerge.

Diana Pinckney has five collections of poetry including The Beast and The Innocent (2015). She is the winner of the 2010 Ekphrasis Prize, Atlanta Review’s 2012 International Prize, and Press 53 Prime Number’s 2018 Award. Her work has appeared in Cave Wall, Arroyo, RHINO, Iodine, Tar River Poetry, Emrys Journal, The Pedestal Magazine, Green Mountains Review, Main Street Rag, and other publications. She lives in Charlotte.

We look forward to seeing you!
