Workshop Focus
This workshop will promote the writing of poems that feature imaginative travel, that is, poems that can transport the reader from one place to another. We will examine and practice a variety of maneuvers that may be useful in advancing poems from simple beginnings to unexpected endings.
Exercises and model poems will be provided, but our focus will remain on the creative output of the participants. Did I mention that this will be pleasurable and even fun? It will.
Requirements
Admission to this workshop will be based on a writing sample: three poems. Submissions should be a single file in .doc format with the title “CollinsSub_YourName.doc”
