POEMS AS TIME MACHINES - A workshop with Danez Smith
On Monday, July 28, award-winning poet Danez Smith's workshop will focus on poetry and time. From Danez: "Since the beginning of time we've been obsessed with time. How does it move? How are we held within it? How can we move in and out of it? In this workshop we'll read a sampling of poets going forward, backwards, and deeper into time before designing our own machines (hint: it's poems) that will move us across the timeline to discover what waits for us and our ambitions if we dive into the stream and let it carry us further into our imaginations."
Workshops are open to writers of all experience levels/genres. Registration is limited to 25 participants per workshop, so reserve your spot early!
Cost: $115 - Register at bit.ly/43xXrw5
Special discounted tuition is available for high school and undergraduate students. Contact Katie Burton:
