Workshops:
SPRING 2023: Michael Waters will teach a workshop for the Chautauqua Institution.
Classes will meet on Saturday mornings 10:00 - 12:00 for five weeks, starting March 18
and ending on April 15. A brief description of the workshop is below. Information
regarding registration will be available soon.
The Merge:
This workshop will focus on how sound and structure in a poem can convey meaning, and how the line may function as both individual and integral unit. Each class will begin with a discussion of a single, brief poem by a major poet that demonstrates the merging of lineation and sound work toward making the poem cohesive and memorable. Then we will consider this aspect of craft (among others) in your own poems. Anticipate a fast-moving and lively workshop!
