About the Offering

LIVE via Zoom: 7pm-9pm (Eastern)

How can bold or surprising images and language serve as tools for writing unexpected, unforgettable poems? How might we flip the script on traditional anthems, hymns and odes, and what and who might inspire unexpected, poetic tribute? In this generative workshop, we will read, write and workshop traditional and experimental poems that alchemize, inspire and challenge. Readings will include Tina Chang, Ada Limon, Mary Ruefle, Megan Merchant, Chen Chen, Rachel McKibbens, Suji Kwock Kim, John Murillo, Danez Smith & others.
