Poetry Workshop: An Afternoon of Deep Music w John Morrison | Apr 8 | In-person
April 8, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
$99 – $119“Poetry is speech with song in it, the song made by words made to dance.” ~ Robert Nye
Prosody in the poems of Terrance Hayes, Mary Szybist, Diane Seuss, and others
In this afternoon gathering, we will step into several poems by highly-accomplished poets and see what techniques they use to achieve their superior poems. More exploration than lecture, together we’ll discover the formal strategies and deep music in the work of Terrance Hayes, Mary Szybist, and Diane Seuss, among others. While this exploration can be seen as a follow up to January’s Deep Music of Poetry session on prosody, all are welcome for this fresh adventure. Be ready to read and collaborate in a full afternoon of discovery, and plan to carry home inspiration for your own poetry.
