This workshop will explore the concept that poetry should “make the strange familiar, and the familiar strange.” How does a poem take something ordinary and charge it with wonder and mystery? How does something wild and surreal feel immediately connected to our daily lives? Let’s talk about how that happens. This will be a generative workshop where we’ll write and workshop new poems. Hopefully, when we’re done, we’ll have a handful of new poems, ideas for poems we’ve yet to begin, and a few new tools to carry into the strangeness of our art.
