LIVE via ZOOM: 4pm-6pm (Eastern Time)

Through the reading of published poems and daily writing prompts, this workshop will explore syntactic strategies for getting beyond the predictable subject-verb-object sentence (“I love you”), and in the process explore ways in which syntax and prosody—sentence and line—work together to create complex poetic textures.

You should leave the workshop with the beginnings of four new poems. For class discussion of your poems (which will comprise most of each day’s workshop), you may share work begun during the week, or earlier poems that don’t yet satisfy you.
