Participants have an opportunity to also share their writing. Sign up for both sessions with one writer or sample across disciplines.
Theme
Truths we reveal by hiding: framing and metaphor in the craft of poetry (repeats November theme)
A picture reveals a carefully-curated aspect of a world that exists within and beyond its frame. This writing workshop examines ways to utilize language to draw focus, create tension and drama, or illuminate truths with the frame of a poem.
