June 23 to June 28, 2019
Tuition: $650
Workshop: 1-4pm
Discipline: Poetry
OPEN TO ALL On-site Housing NOT Available - Off-site Housing Options
We’ll look at ways to simplify and add complexity to poems. And we’ll explore ways of deepening our poems, and leaving a door open for mystery and surprise. This will include looking at the work of a few poets who do this (effortlessly, it would seem); writing new poems; and workshoppng your poems.
Please bring 10 copies of two of your own poems that you have not been able to finish or get quite right.
