WORKSHOPS
A Poetry of Ideas with Evie Shockley
July 31 – August , 2014
This workshop is for those who feel like they’ve amassed a number of wonderful tools and skills as poets, but find themselves searching for strategies that put their formal abilities to work in making poems with reach and impact. For details and information on how to apply visit the website.
Deep Sonnets: Chaos in Fourteen Lines with Annie Finch
August 29 – September 1, 2014
This workshop will provide a safe and vibrant space to discover your own personal poetic relationship with the chaos in 14 lines. How can the sonnet inspire us as contemporary poets, and what, if anything, can we give the sonnet? Through journaling, composing, diagramming, performance, and discussion of sonnets, and above all through writing and sharing our own, each of us will find a new energetic connection with the powerful form on which Edna built her voice.
