That second introduction to the TC Lexicon describes - exactly! - the process used in a poetry workshop I attended back in the late 80s[1]. The outcome of each session was also the same, drowning our sorrows in a nearby pub after the meeting, but also forming some strong and long-lasting bonds with our fellow masochists. I'd say I learned 80% of what I know about writing poetry from that workshop, and un-learned 100% of what I thought I knew before I started.
