Workshop
Inviting Wonder: Approaching the Familiar from the Opposite Side
In this 90-minute generative workshop we will read and discuss poems that bend our understanding of composition. Then we’ll begin to write our own using a diction and image exercise that may spark for you a new way to see the practice of making poems.
