Register for this Workshop

We’ll look at ways to simplify and add complexity to poems. And we’ll explore ways of deepening our poems, and leaving a door open for mystery and surprise. This will include looking at the work of a few poets who do this (effortlessly, it would seem); writing new poems; and workshopping poems that you feel are still under construction.

Please bring 3-4 of your own poems that you have not been able to finish or get quite right. Bring 11 copies of each to class.
