Do you know why listening for the natural rhythms of speech can strengthen your writing? Have you ever wondered how scanning the lines of your first draft can make for a better poem? Here is an opportunity to improve your ear for meter, and fine-tune your understanding of how meter works in poetry. Guided by an internationally published author of sonnets, villanelles, and other metrical poems, this one-day workshop includes scansion of well-known poems, writing exercises, and, if you like, close examination of a poem you’ve drafted prior to class. You’ll leave with new insights about improving the auditory qualities of all your poems and prose.
LIVE VIDEO CONFERENCE: This workshop will be held via our online video conferencing platform, Zoom. The dates and times will remain the same. You can view brief tutorials on using the platform here.
