Program Description

Event Details

The problem with poetry is…. Explaining poetry to people is like talking to kleptomaniacs, they always take things literally. Poetry has an eternal resource of style, genre, and rules. Most workshops teach you how to use and apply these rules, but what if we didn’t? What if we focused on making, creating and using ingenuity to develop revolutionary ideas like never seen before? What if we embrace the discomfort of being unbalanced, but learn to create stable and steady flows of content?

 This workshop is life support for creativity. We are going to bend the rules till they flat out break and learn how to do poetry vers libre. All levels beginners, intermediate, and advanced writers will benefit. If you think unimaginative poetry is a problem,  just wait till you see the solution!
