About the Offering

LIVE via ZOOM: 6pm-8pm (Eastern)

Making room for beauty and randomness may seem like an indulgence in our writing. But attending to our astonishments—the tiny miracles and everyday wonders—is the most important work a poet can do. In this weeklong workshop, we’ll explore opportunities to reach for joy in our work by employing language not often found in poetry, reflecting on the difficulty and significance of documenting moments of change, and discussing strategies for honing and revising new and old drafts. During the week, we will look at poems by Lucille Clifton, Ross Gay, Keetje Kuipers, Ada Limon, Natasha Trethewey, Ocean Vuong, and more. This is a generative poetry workshop that will also touch upon revision and the publication process.
