In Other Forms: Modern Takes on Traditional Forms

Workshop Description

Learn more about the power these traditional forms and the options their modern uses could bring to your writing: villanelle, pantoum, ghazal, triolet, sestina, American sonnet, and form sequences. Over four weeks, we will study and discuss examples, write to prompts, receive and respond to work. River Heron classes and students inspire each other to new ways of thinking and creating.
