In this introductory workshop, we'll explore ways in which sound, image, and idea conspire to create the poem. We'll support each other’s experiments and learn from the approach of other poets, with the aim of identifying what makes poems do what they do and acquiring tools for crafting our own imaginative works. There’ll be inventive exercises and plenty of feedback to get you inspired and thinking about language in new ways.
In this workshop, writers can expect some in-class writing every session, some optional homework, and the opportunity to volunteer to share their work with the class.
