Snap, Crackle, Pop: A Making & Mending Syntax Workshop

$99.00

Dates: Any
Format: Independent Study (more info)

The pleasure and pain of poetry is that there’s so many places to which we can turn our attention: image, sound, form, subject matter. Snaking through all of these is syntax and its power to offer shape, surprise, and sense to our work.

In this self-paced workshop, you’ll examine what makes a sentence shapely; what makes it snap, crackle and/or pop. You’ll read example poems along with excerpts from craft texts such as Ellen Bryant Voigt’s Art of Syntax and Gary Lutz’s “The Sentence is a Lonely Place.” With each module, you will be challenged with crafting a new poem or mending an old one.

Shortly after you register, you will receive an email containing an invitation to create an account and begin learning. Note: This class does not include feedback or interaction with the instructor or other learners, and is accessible for thirty days. If more time is needed, just contact us.
