CRAFTING POETRY

While generative writing workshops can stir your creative impulses, my Crafting Poetry Workshop series is built for long-haul writing. We focus on the tools of poetry like sound, line, structure, image, and language, the parts that hold a poem together so it lives longer on the page and in the reader.

“Blueberries bellow out round, ripe notes,
ringing loud and cool and blue,
clinging to white stars, conjuring 
inky fingers swollen by blue lips
and ravenous blue days where 
blackbirds beat their black wings blue.”

-excerpt from “Blueberry Song”
