LIVE via ZOOM: 12pm-2pm (Eastern)

Through the reading of published poems, we’ll explore various lengths and kinds of stanzas (from one-line stanzas on) as well as various lengths and kinds of lines. We’ll focus on free-verse poems, but briefly explore the formal origins of various stanza forms and discuss some contemporary forms as well. Responses to daily writing prompts should give you at least 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.
