Radical Revision: A Poetry Workshop

With: 
Xan Forest Phillips

Radical Revision: A Poetry Workshop is a space for editing preexisting poems using dynamic poetic forms. In this workshop, we will approach revision by exploring the relationship between form and content, helping each workshop participant find the ideal form and structure for their submitted work. Students will have the opportunity to have a long poem or series of poems workshopped by the group.
