Description
There’s a traditional view of the lyric poem as capturing one moment in time—expanding it, slowing it down, exploring it, making it vivid, sensuous, and memorable. In this generative one-day workshop we’ll explore various strategies of writing the single lyric moment, reading examples from classic and contemporary poetry, discussing craft, drafting a brand new piece, sharing with fellow writers, and making new writing friends.
