Global Voices: A Workshop Focusing on 4 Poetic Approaches

LIVE via ZOOM: 1pm-4pm (Eastern)

In this workshop, we’ll meet and learn from the work of several contemporary poets spanning the globe. We will explore four poetic forms and approaches: the sound spiral, the reversal, visual poetry, and poetry of witness. We will consider these forms in the context of peace and conflict studies, as well as an evergreen meditation on love and loss. I will send out a packet of poems and descriptions of forms prior to our course meeting, with details and points to consider. After our class session, you’ll write using one of these forms—and then we’ll meet individually via Zoom to talk about your work.

Saturday Sprints are 3 hour generative workshops with stellar writers, centered on a theme.

Workshops are limited to 25 participants.
