Don't wait for inspiration to strike or cower in the glare of the blank page. This workshop will explore tried-and-true techniques for structuring poems so you always have a place to start. You'll learn how to make and break patterns with purpose with form, turns, sound, and tone. Join us if you want to write consistently stronger first drafts and to be a sharper observer of your own work.
