The Radical Revision: Generative Poetry Workshop with Nicholas Goodly (via Zoom)

This workshop focuses on revision and editing methods for poetry. We will explore some editing techniques that can radically alter the course of the work and allow the writer to look at their own poems as raw material for new creations. In this workshop, your drafts will become building blocks to play with. We will also work with generative poetry prompts and exercises as additional tools for the poetic process.

NB: This class will be taught on Zoom and will be capped at 15 students. Registrants will receive the Zoom link to the email address they use to register.
