What makes a poem move? What can one poem reveal to us? In this master class, we will explore Emily Dickinson's poetics and forms, as well as those of her contemporary counterparts. As in all of Terrance Hayes’ workshops, discussions will be rooted in “reading to write”—participants will write in response to the texts and then share that work.
ENGLISH, CREATIVE WRITING, ETC.
