Jacqueline Jones Lamon Exploring the Abecedarian Poetics: More Than Just ABC’s Poetry October 9 to October 13, 2017 Number of Participants: 12 Price: $400 Format: 1 Week Asynchronous Workshop

In this intensive course, students will explore several nuanced approaches to this ancient alphabetical form of poetry. By combining current events and difficult subject matter with a rigid adherence to the alphabet as our organizing principle, we’ll discover new ways of accessing subtext in our drafts and develop a plan for further development once our course is over.
