What New Form Is Your Subject Looking for? With Sharon Dolin (via Zoom)


“In poetry you have a form looking for a subject and a subject looking for a form,” writes W.H. Auden.In this workshop we’ll try out several twenty-first century poetic forms such as the Bop, the Golden Shovel, and the Fib to see how form itself can influence and inspire what we feel an urgency to say.
