Workshop: Writing an interior monologue. Kim Nielsen-Creeley
Location
About
In this workshop Kim Nielsen-Creeley will lead a group of up to 14 participants in sharing and reading examples of poetry developed through an interior monologue, a narrative style of writing. The group will discuss the differences between interior monologue and stream of consciousness, then engage in some writing exercises to work towards and/or create a poem.
Internal monologues can be used to create work that writes the interior world of the poet or the imagined interior world of another. A character’s thoughts are represented, the reader ‘listens in’. This style can be created in the first or third person.
Kim Nielsen-Creeley was born in Queenstown, a mining town in Lutruwita/Tasmania. Her poems have a keen sense of place, responding to landscape and history. Kim was recently long listed for the Tim Thorne Poetry Prize 2025 where she was highly commended by the judges.
