Red Hen PressWhat Can A Poem do?
A Generative Poetry WorkshopGenevieve Kaplan
Tuesdays, Feb.6-April 3, 2018 (no class Mar.20)
Time: 5:30-8:30pm
Workshop Description
How many ways are there to write a poem? How many ways can a poem succeed in the world? Let’s write and find out together. In this poetry workshop, suitable for experienced writers as well as enthusiastic beginners, we will read and write poems, explore poetic techniques and examples, share our own poems and drafts-in-progress, and offer feedback to our peers. During our time together we’ll read, discover, discuss, practice, and push our poems to reach their own beautiful limits.
