How To Build Your Writing Muscle Through Poetic Practice with Stevie Belchak

​At The Subtext, we want to create opportunities for creatives to embrace their curiosity, break away from industry echo chambers, and soak up fresh perspectives. That’s where our Learning Curve series comes in.

​Join us on Thursday, August 28, for a 60-minute masterclass with poet and namer Stevie Belchak.  In this session, Stevie will guide us through how poetry can enrich your creative practice and even amplify your commercial writing. Spoiler: they overlap more than you might think.

​Here’s what you can expect:

​New ways of seeing

​Break away from the brand writing tropes that keep you stuck and learn how you can draw on poetic practices—like slowing down, embracing Keats’s Negative Capability, and making the familiar strange—to unlock fresh points of view your writing.

​A poet’s mindset

​You’ll see firsthand examples of how poets tackle language with precision and play (and without deliverables hanging over their heads) and how to apply these techniques to your own work.

​Practical tools

​Leave with practical tips you can use day-to-day, expansive exercises, and a reading list to keep the inspiration alive in your work.

​Tickets are donation-based and support Stevie's time and help fund The Subtext’s programming. 

​Hope to see you there.
