About the Offering

LIVE via Zoom: 12pm-2pm (Eastern Time)

Ordering within a poem, ordering poems within a manuscript, can be difficult. We’ll look at how the writers in our workshop manage the order of telling, or revealing. The title comes first, but also, we see the very shape of a poem—we might even notice and be influenced by the poem’s “look” before we read the title. How does what we see, what we read, in the order of seeing and reading affect our reaction to the poem? We’ll talk about how the poems presented in our workshop manage ordering—manage, that is, the presentation of information, image, description and to what effect.
