About the Offering

LIVE via ZOOM: 12pm-2pm (Eastern)

In this generative poetry workshop we’ll create and share new work, experimenting with a wide variety of subject matter and approaches. I’ll provide flexible writing prompts and model poems to get us started each day. As we discuss the work, we’ll pay special attention to line, syntax, and stanza, and will consider the choices we make in free-verse poems: How are the elements of the poem working on their own? How do they work with—or against—each other? Where might we focus our energy in revision? My expectation is that during the week, we’ll build creative momentum and develop new strategies that will carry participants forward in their own writing practice.
