Whether you’re beginning with one poem or a small group of poems, this week-long intensive workshop will offer strategies to meaningfully expand your work toward a manuscript. By mapping the resonances and symmetries within and between poems, students will gain a sense of where expansion is possible. Engaging daily experimental prompts will help writers explore unexpected perspectives and directions for moving their work forward. At the end of the workshop each student will receive a written note reviewing the poems shared during the week and offering suggestions for next steps.
