Some poems are forever—and readers usually attribute this ‘permanence’ to equating the emotions of the poet/speaker with those of their own. What if the permanence has nothing to do with the poet’s emotion at all but is, instead, a feature of their technical craft? In this workshop, we will explore texts by poets such as Hart Crane, Édouard Glissant, Yves Bonnefoy, Audre Lorde and Dionne Brand to learn how each controls time inside of lyric. Participants will use these explorations as a generative prompts to draft their own poems.
Please submit three poems to ssiegel@fawc.org by June 23.
