Part of The Poetry Society of New York's Weekly Virtual Workshop Series.With poet Kennedy Garza Brown!It's often forgotten that Poetry is as much craft and technique as it is an art. Mary Oliver purports the intentionality poetry, all the down to the syllables. This generative workshop takes us into the nitty gritty of poetry, and focuses specifically on sounds, exploring the ways sound is used to transcend words off a page into our ears, even if no one is saying them aloud, or how to even convey sound on the page. We will be reading Langston Hughes, Ben Lerner, amongst others to see this in action. There will be exercises in onomatopoeia and exploring the intersection of sound and other senses to generate sonorous and serpaphic words.
