3 Sessions: Saturday, October 10, 17, + 24
2:00-4:00PM EST
Roy G. Guzmán

Whether poets decide to give multiple poems the same title or write multiple poems that operate from a singular voice, poetry sequences are rich in interlocution, intertextuality, and surprising juxtapositions. In the spirit of poetry sequences in Terrance Hayes's sonnets, Hieu Minh Nguyen's white boy time machines, Kaveh Akbar's portraits, and Roy's Queerodactyls, this 3-session workshop will focus on generating work that creates on the page its own web, centripetal force, cosmology, and logic. Through selected readings, prompts, and revision exercises, participants will discover new ways to connect, write in the spirit of, and unfold sequences that embody more than one texture, form, and meaning (10 students).

Five page work sample required. Please send to cassie@theshipmanagency.com by Oct 1.
