Description: Learn the poetic tools of form to level up your poetry! In this workshop, we'll explore why form is relevant for contemporary poets, and how we can take advantage of form to strengthen both traditional and free-verse poems. Poetic form isn’t just meter and rhyme--it encompasses a diverse range of vessels that poems can inhabit. Form can help focus our poems, and reinforce a tone beyond our written words. When we have writer’s block, form can give us direction on how to keep writing. Over the six weeks of this workshop, we'll write in several forms (including the haiku, sestina, pantoum, and sonnet), and explore what content works well with different types of forms. This workshop is for any level of poet, but best for poets who have at least some experience writing poems and want to learn more.
