SUMMARY:The Center for Poetry presents Dennis Hinrichsen in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:
 Lansing-based poet Dennis Hinrichsen joins the 
 Center for Poetry as the first poet in the Spring 
 Poetry Festival, whose 2015 theme is "Michigan 
 Poets: Reading, Teaching, Writing". Dennis 
 joins us for a conversation at 3 pm and 
 a reading at 7 pm in the RCAH Theater. Both 
 events are free and open to the public.\n
 \n
 Afternoon 
 conversation: "Teaching and the Mind 
 of the Poet: Moving from Incandescence to Laser"\n
 Young 
 writers often see drafting a work 
 as the entire process given the rush of discovery 
 and all the scattered light there, but it's 
 only one half of the effort. To finish a 
 piece, writers need to think more thoroughly 
 about revision--taking all that scattered light 
 and with some guiding ideas--a prosody--find 
 ways to sharpen and compress and fully transform 
 that wild and raw music into a finished 
 work of art, all without losing any of that 
 wildness.\n
 \n
