Craft Of The Invisible With Linda Gregg

Poetry is a craft of the invisible: craft for the mind and for the rigor. We will consider the invisible as the space between an event, and that event becoming a poem. Participants will send two poems prior to the first workshop meeting. We will work together with a related exercise. I want us to attempt to write great poetry, understanding we might fail. The workshop will be run in a serious and supportive way. As I was told by Joseph Brodsky, poetry is the greatest invention of mankind. In this workshop we will work together with the spirit of this statement in mind. Participants will send two poems prior to the workshop and bring 17 copies to the first workshop meeting.
