AN ELEGY IS JUST AN ODE IN DISGUISE: SINGING OUR LOSSES (POETRY WORKSHOP)
Saturday, November 4th, 2017 12:30pm - 3:00pm
The Crest Theater, Old School Square, Classroom 6 51 N. Swinton, Delray Beach, FL 561-243-7922

This generation-based workshop will explore the emulative possibilities of elegies written by poets as diverse in voice and style as Jericho Brown, Eugenia Leigh, Larry Levis, and Muriel Rukeyser. We’ll also consider what the elegy borrows from the ode, its lyric cousin, in paying homage to a beloved person, place, or thing.
