The Poetics of Power and Play
18+
Instructors: Tom Laichas & Lynne Thompson In this week-long workshop, Tom Laichas will teach the first half and Lynne Thompson will teach the second half! Laichas’s 'Poetry and the Prince' will explore how poetry responds to corruption and power by examining diverse political forms from satire to lament, drawing on global poetic traditions. Thompson’s 'Wordplay and Other Roads to Verse-City' will then focus on craft and play, using a variety of forms including prose poems, glosas, centos, and forms of her own creation to discover new approaches to writing.
