In this weekend intensive, we’ll explore a rich abundance of ways to write short poems. Our focus will be on forms like aphorisms, haiku and haibun, lists, jokes, concrete poems, fragments, erasures, and more. For inspiration, we’ll look at classic and contemporary poets such as Paul Celan, Lorine Niedecker, Issa, Sappho, Joe Brainard, Robert Lax, and Larry Eigner.
