Professor Nutter’s poetry writing session was intense, challenging, and above all, inspiring. I was truly thrilled to experience one of them at the Sun Yat-sen University Writers’ Residency. Professor Nutter set out a series of intellectually stimulating tasks for the participants to accomplish within a very limited time. I had never approached poetry writing in such extreme fashion before, so I let poetry take over me. The sharing sessions and commentary on our works made us appreciate how poems can have very similar materials but vastly different angles and approaches. It was an experience I would never forget and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves poetry and writing in general. It will be an unforgettable experience.
