Workshop with John Hoppenthaler

"Every End A Beginning: Working with the Free Verse Line." Free verse isn't as free as we might think. Poems written in free verse must have architecture, too, and the onus is on the poet to create it. This structuring begins at the level of the line. End-stopped? Enjambed? Caesura manipulation?

About the event

Please join us for a wonderful workshop!

"Every End A Beginning: Working with the Free Verse Line." Free verse isn't as free as we might think. Poems written in free verse must have architecture, too, and the onus is on the poet to create it. This structuring begins at the level of the line. End-stopped? Enjambed? Caesura manipulation? Creating a sonic texture without meter and end rhyme? These are matters that must be considered when writing free verse poetry, and that's what this seminar is about.
