Blair Powless calls himself a freelance educator. He’s been writing faculty at Lake Superior College, has coached local Spoken Word Poets in a group called Are Poets, and is currently studying history in hopes of teaching it. In this episode, Blair emphasizes that:
Academic writers will benefit from poetry because such language will help connect emotionally with readers.
Poetic language is a path to finding the elusive “voice.”
Like Tanner Servoss says in the Feedback episode, reading or hearing our writing out loud is an important step in our writing process.
Blair and I met in the Dovetail Café, so enjoy the ambient sounds of a Friday lunch rush as a bonus. Listen in.
