Breaking the Block: How Playing By the Rules Can Get You Back in the Game

Georgia Writers Association

This two-hour class will help you explore ways to break through writer's block at every point in the writing process.

Writer&#x27;s block: every writer faces it, no matter where they are in their career. Sometimes, it&#x27;s the fear that overcomes you at the sight of that blank page; sometimes, it&#x27;s the blank that happens when you try to perfect your piece. In this generative workshop, we&#x27;ll explore ways to break through writer&#x27;s block at every point in the process through language games that can help you play your way into a solution to even the most difficult the puzzles of poetry.About Emma Bolden:Emma Bolden is the author of a memoir, The Tiger and the Cage: A Memoir of a Body in Crisis (Soft Skull Press, 2022); three full-length collections of poetry -- House Is An Enigma (Southeast Missouri State University Press, 2018), medi(t)ations (Noctuary Press, 2016) and Maleficae (GenPop Books, 2013) – and four chapbooks.
