About the Offering
LIVE via Zoom: 12pm-2pm (Eastern Time)
For this workshop, we will look at poems that I’ll provide and use them as models for
how poems are made from creating pattern and from unexpectedly interrupting that
pattern. Each model will be the basis of a daily prompt, which will be the starting point
for a new poem draft. By the end of our time together, you’ll have four new poems–or
potential poems–and you’ll have a new method for generating new work and for
revising stalled drafts.
Materials Needed
No specific materials needed for this offering.
