In short, this is an opportunity to experiment and play (pun intended). In this workshop, we’ll think about the ways that different poets have used verse plays as part of their artistic output, and the cool effects that a flashy, razor-sharp poetic drama can muster. Together, we’ll read aloud classic and contemporary examples of this form, using both as bioenergy and possibility for our own creations. We’ll discuss concepts, such as “cross-genre travel” and “embracing the strange,” in addition to using prompts, writing time, and read-alouds so that each of us leaves this space with our very own “ecstatic miniature.”
