Join us for a comprehensive four-week workshop that aims to enhance your poetic creativity and refine your technical skills through various forms of poetry. In this workshop, you will gain a deep understanding of poetic form and learn how to use it to your advantage. Our focus will be on the Sestina, Villanelle, Duplex, and other forms, as we explore their unique properties and how to use them in editing, shifting perspective & refining your work.  We will be learning the rules, but not to bind, For poetry is fluid, not confined.  Learn them, break them, play with form. Our approach is centered on nurturing your creativity and challenging you to push beyond the boundaries of traditional forms. You will leave this workshop with a new level of understanding poetic form and how to break its rules to make it your own. You will further evolve your poetic abilities and have an expanded toolkit for your creative writing pursuits. This class is open to writers of all levels and experience.
