Direct Address: Writing New Poems with Emily Hunt
Oct 17, 2019 | 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
$325Event Navigation

Six Thursdays, October 17–November 21
In this workshop, we’ll embrace the urgency, clarity, volition, and sensuality that can surface when we write to someone or something, rather than about, around, or in light of a subject. Taking inspiration from Bernadette Mayer, Lucille Clifton, Fernando Pessoa, Solmaz Sharif, Dara Wier, and others, we’ll ask, how do our voices change based on whom or what we address? What happens to diction, tone, and form?
