About the Offering
Where does a poem come from? How is a poem even made? Some of the world’s best poets sit down and ask themselves this daily. The blank page, the sound of nothing. How does one begin? In this workshop we’ll talk about how to call the poem to you, how to find what has been moving in you all along, how to dislodge personal truths, and how to craft new poems on the page. We’ll read some contemporary poems and use them to inspire in-class writing.
LIVE TIME: 12pm-2pm EST.
Materials Needed
No specific materials needed for this offering.
