Poetry without Borders
Poetry Without Borders serves as an introduction to both old school and modern forms of poetry, as workshop participants practice building a modest portfolio around form structure but with an eye towards "breaking the rules" as well, so newly written works maintain a creative and autonomous edge, while still being accessible. Open to all poetry genres including narrative, lyric, langpo and experimental.
