Poetry Studio: Potential & Possibilities of OULIPO
Join us to embrace the endless possibilities of constraints to generate new poems
The French post-surrealist group OULIPO (Ouvroir de Littérature Potentielle/Workshop of Potential Literature), founded in 1960, is a gathering of mathematicians, scientists and writers who embrace constraint as a means of triggering ideas and inspiration.
Oulipians are of the opinion that writing is always constrained by something — time, language itself — and rather than trying to abolish constraints, acknowledge and embrace their creative potential.
