2013 Workshop Description



POETRY
Instructor: Joshua McKinney

The Sound System

In this workshop we will examine the relationship between poetic form and content, considering various strategies for beginning and ending poems, as well as the often overlooked importance of titles. Finally, we will place special emphasis on aspects of syntax and sound that create a distinction between poetry and prose.

In short, we will pay close attention to language itself-often at the level of the syllable.
