In-Person

In this approach to full-draft revision, we work on re-seeing the whole poem, shifting the poem’s focus, discovering a new set of images and associations, or retelling the poem’s central story. In this workshop, we will dig into drafts to discover other layers and facets of the poem’s subject and imagery. In a series of three to five exercises, we’ll explore, expand, and excavate a draft to discover its branches, ghosts, and doppelgangers. Bring one poem draft you are ready to explore and significantly rewrite. Taught by Rebecca Aronson, English faculty at CNM. Aronson's poetry compilation, Ghost Child of the Atalanta Bloom, will be available for purchase for $12, cash, check, or app. Registration required.
