Perhaps some of us are not meant to write in a linear fashion. To be “roundabout” or circular may be closer to how our ears...

The space of the poem will be treated as an opportunity for chance and the new.

92nd Street Y @ 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY
When we write poems, we begin with what we don’t know, collecting disparate bits and pieces. When we revise, we use what we know: the pull of sound, language, meaning, silence and order. In this advanced workshop, we look at craft — line, space, stanza, form, music and register of language — as well as the work of outside writers. Students are chosen by Cynthia Cruz on the basis of a manuscript submission.
