WORKSHOP: VANA MANASIADIS: THE POETIC TURN

In this poetry workshop held on Phantom Billstickers National Poetry Day, discuss the stellar wonder and poetry problem-solver supreme that is the poetic turn, you will write your own during guided exercises and workshop your early drafts. Expect swerve and motion, a new leap or poetic turn which might, as poet Phillis Levin says, “introduce into the poem a possibility for transformation, like a moment of grace”. You might move around the room too, but dancing is not required.
