Summary
Two weeks later, May 21 from 12-3:00pm, we will reconvene to share and discuss the resultant poems (based on the first session's prompt). Participants will bring enough copies of the current draft to share with the other members of the workshop. We will encourage the finer moments in each piece and give feedback on how each poem might improve in subsequent revisions (if applicable). During this process, one of the aspects of craft we'll be mindful of is line breaks.
Description
In the first session, May 7 from 12:00-1:30pm, we will examine poems written in the last 50 years, exploring how line break choices can augment a poem’s tone and implications by emphasizing images, sounds, and silences. The first session will end with a writing prompt.
