Threads of Transport: A Poetry Workshop
Threads of Transport: A Poetry Workshop
EXPLORE POETRY THROUGH TIME
The founders of the new literary magazine, Unwoven will explore the poetics of movement across time. Using Philip B. Williams "Tabula Rasa" + James Cagney's "Wicked Game" students will discover new ways to transport their audience in poetry. Walk away with a single polished poem that starts as a catalyst to sequence of poetry.
