📚 Wikipedia Persona Poem Workshop 維基人物詩歌工作坊
用一首詩,假裝自己是另外一個人、一朵雲、一張地圖、或一段歷史。
Write a poem as if you were someone — or something — else. A monk. A space dog. A haunted lighthouse. A deleted article.
Wikipedia is the largest collective memory archive of our time. Each biography is like a soul flattened into a neutral format. But what if we slipped into that soul and wrote the poetry it never got to say?
This workshop is a playful and poetic exploration of identity, fiction, and truth. You’ll pick a curious, forgotten, or bizarre Wikipedia biography — and write a persona poem in its voice.
💡 What to Expect:
1. Intro + Inspiration (30 mins)
– What is a persona poem? (Examples, styles, playful forms)
– We’ll share a few bios to spark ideas
2. Pick a Wiki (10 mins)
– We’ll have a deck of curated Wikipedia bios printed as cards
– You can draw one at random or pick freely
– You’re also welcome to search or bring your own
3. Writing Time (60 mins)
– Write a poem from this person’s (or object’s) point of view
– It can be a letter, monologue, curse, menu, love note, death wish, or dream
– Use imagination, empathy, and a touch of weird
4. Sharing Circle (30–40 mins)
– Optional sharing and readings
– Talk about what surprised you in the process
– Imagine what your persona would say to someone else’s — a dialogue between ghosts?
🧰 We’ll provide:
– A deck of Wikipedia bios
– Writing materials & optional prompts
– A safe, no-pressure, open space
👀 活動靈感:
Wikipedia 是世界上最大的人類集體記憶庫。每一篇傳記條目,都像一個簡化過的靈魂,被邏輯和格式固定住了。但如果我們把這些條目當作面具,戴上,寫出它內心的詩呢?
這是一場扮演與詩意交織的創作實驗。
黃Q老師將帶領大家收集奇特、有趣、悲傷、荒謬的 Wikipedia 條目中選擇一個對象,進入它的身體與語言,寫下一首「Persona Poem」。
