Melissa Crowe's work has appeared recently in Four Way Review, New England Review, Poetry, and Poetry Northwest, and she was the 2021 winner of the Robert H. Winner Memorial Award from the Poetry Society of America. She coordinates the MFA program at UNCW, where she teaches poetry and publishing.

The opening reader for this event is Tanner Crunelle.

The seminar will be held 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. on Saturday:

Working the Line

In this session, we’ll explore “line logic," the line as the poem’s primary unit of composition; we’ll pay some attention to how skilled poets make choices about line length and line breaks, and we’ll have a look at the ways in which contemporary poets trouble or test convention, fiddling with a line's music and structure, perhaps discovering new ways to create tension and energy. Participants will engage in exercises designed to get them experimenting with lines and line breaks in their own poems and should come away surprised at the difference this kind of attention to the line can make in their work.
