Crucial to the art of a poem is its syntax, how the words are put together for the sake of ideal phrasing. In this workshop we’ll focus on the role of syntax in orchestrating a poem’s music—how it affects pacing, tension, and tone. We’ll pay attention to not only what the poem says but also how it goes about saying it. The class (open to poets of all levels of experience) will discuss numerous syntactical approaches, read sample poems, and generate new work. Participants may bring a poem, with SASE, to turn in for critique.

Friday, Apr. 23: Classes at Richland Northeast High in Columbia, SC
What a pleasure it was yesterday to meet with young poets in Barbara Thomson's classes at Richland Northeast High. We circled up and read a number of poems rich with concrete details--list poems, poems of advice/instruction, poems in the voice of an inanimate object, and others. Then we spent time writing lines of a group poem, plus poems of our own. A talented group!
