Virtual Workshop with The Poetry Society of New York: Creating Emotional Depth in Poetry

With poet Juliet Gelfman-Randazzo!

In this generative workshop, we will consider poems that engage and manipulate playful forms (for instance, a choose your own adventure, a classified ad, a repetitive form). Attendees will then use these examples to inspire their own experiments, considering routes to writing poems through games, jokes, and other sites of play. We will additionally discuss opportunities to amplify the text on the page through its performance, and push the boundaries between performance and the written word—considering how one might share a poem that is in some way “impossible.” All attendees will have the opportunity to share their experiments.
