NonFest: A Poem’s Progress: Ways to Get from One Line to the Next 21LA11-4

This class is part of the North Shore Readers and Writers NonFest.

Please visit the landing page here for a full description of the two NonFest tracks. 

If a poem is the language of the act of the mind, how do we get from one line to the next? In this session, which combines presentation and workshop, we will discuss published poems that use a variety of methods of progression: from leaping to associative to processional to elliptical to allusive, to impressionistic. Students will work through a series of prompts to draft their own poems, and the class will share encouragement and compliments as well as ideas for continuation and revision.
