A 5-Week Online Poetry Workshop
Tuesdays: April 8 - May 6, 6-9 PM
This course will briefly provide an introduction to nonce and inherited forms. We’ll read works by poets Kenzie Allen, Erin Marie Lynch, Sandra Marchetti, and others, and explore how these poets approach working with form. The class is generative in nature, the poems that we read will serve as a springboard for creating our own poetic forms. Each class will have dedicated time for writing and sharing new work.
$275 Members/$475 Nonmembers
