Meets at UNC Asheville’s Reuter Center
How do poems sustain our attention? How does a poet build momentum and maintain a poem’s energy? We will discuss how syntax, structure, tension, and associative leaps can propel a poem. Using contemporary poems as examples, we’ll examine how poets navigate pacing in effective ways that engage and sustain the reader’s attention. In this generative workshop, students will write new material and receive feedback for revision.
