FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Who is this character living in my head and why won’t
she leave me alone?
WAUKESHA – Do you have a voice inside your head?
Is he or she coming out in the form of poetry? Let poet Lisa Cihlar help you
guide this character through a poetic series! The Poetic Obsession – Writing a
Character Series will help you define your character and look at ways to write a
cluster of poems that echo each other without being carbon copies. Participants
will do exercises, brain storming, and character mapping. Cihlar’s own Swampy
Woman, from her new chapbook, The Insomniac’s House, would not slink back into
the algae green waters. She had to have her say and to hear what others had to
say about her. Let your character crawl out too! Bring along five to ten
character based poems and let’s see who shouts the loudest. This AllWriters’
Celebrity Saturday Event will take place on September 22nd, from 9:00 a.m. to
2:00 p.m.
LISA J. CIHLAR’S poems have been published in The South Dakota
Review, Corium, Green Mountains Review, In Posse Review, Bluestem, and The
Prose-Poem Project. One of her poems was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. She is
the author of two chapbooks, “The Insomniac’s House,” from Dancing Girl Press,
and “This is How She Fails” from Crisis Chronicles. She lives in rural
southern Wisconsin.
