Poem to Song (WisCon 31 panel)
Solo Presentations•Conference Room 3• Friday, 4:00-5:15 p.m.
Not every poem makes a good song; not every song works as a poem. When Laurie J. Marks expressed a wish that the poem in her upcoming novel Water Logic could be set to music, felllow writer's group member Rosemary Kirstein was thrilled for the opportunity. But changes were necessary, some large, some small. In this presentation, Rosemary will recreate the process step-by-step, share her analysis and decisions on changes to the poem; explain her method of selecting and shaping the music; and in the end sing the completed work.
