Music of Poetry Workshop w/ Craig Brandis | May 1 – June 5 | Zoom

Register for this workshop.

Have you been wondering how to make your poems grab the reader right away and also linger in the mind after their finished reading? Musicality of poetry is the answer. Let’s gather to study how some modern masters make their poems sing, without relying on traditional metrical structures. Let’s focus on rhythm and pacing, the use of silence, flow, lyricism and emotional resonance. We will then apply those lessons to your own poems. Discover how your poems start to sing out. Share your work in an environment of acceptance and exploration. Reading list: poems from Ocean Vuong, Michael Zapruder, Ada Limón and others help light our way. Come join us! Give your poems fresh sound and meaning.
