About the Offering

Tuesdays, on May 12th, 19th, 26th and June 2nd at 12pm-2pm (Eastern)

Finding the balance between poetic form, voice, and subject matter can be one of the most rewarding and challenging aspects of writing and revising poetry. In this workshop, we’ll read and discuss published poems by an array of poets across eras and styles, and we’ll write and workshop our own poems to better grasp how our diction, syntax, and choices of visual presentation on the page can bear energies that work in unison toward an intentional entirety.
