In this 90-minute Zoom workshop, students will learn several introductory techniques for crafting an effective free verse poem including the use of imagery and metaphor for conveying meaning and the use of line breaks to create pace, rhythm, and impact. Students will read examples of modern free verse poems and then engage in exercises meant to sharpen their skills as free verse writers. Students who are brand new to poetry will benefit as much from this class as more experienced poets who want to add some free verse tools to their writing toolbox. Students will leave with ideas for several free verse poems and techniques for continuing their work editing and sharpening their drafts. This workshop will include visiting the galleries to discuss the ways art and craft converge with literary arts to create meaningful work.
