A poet and English professor at Wilfrid Laurier University, Jewinski is the author of The Cage in the Open Air, No Place To Go To, and Any Morning May Start the Revolution. He has been an editor for such publications as The English Quarterly, Poetry WLU and The New Quarterly. Since 1981, Jewinski has been the Senior Poetry Judge for the annual Waterloo County English Awards Program. Known for his comprehensive yet tactful evaluation of students' writing, he has conducted several creative writing workshops for the Waterloo County Board of Education, for schools in South Western Ontario and for the Shad Valley Summer Program at the University of Waterloo. He has also taught creative writing at the Three Schools in Toronto. Jewinski would be pleased to conduct workshops for teachers as well as students.
Grade Levels: 9 - OAC
Fees: standard
Classroom Approach:
Jewinski's
"hands-on" workshops leave students with an appreciation of the form
and substance of poetry and/or short stories. Emphasizing the necessary difference
between abstract and concrete language, Jewinski methodically leads students
through the stages of the writing process and helps them see the tremendous
advantage of revising. Under his guidance, students put theory into practice
by working through the creative writing exercises in a workbook he has prepared
specially for the class. Because Jewinski will read from and discuss his own
poetry sometime during the session, students do not need to have read his work
beforehand.
