Time and Poetic Structure: A Workshop with L.A. Johnson

In this three-hour workshop, we will explore how to layer multiple scenes within a poem, and how a poem can capture nonlinear time. This workshop will be a mix of lecture, guided close readings of poems, and generative writing. In considering time, we will focus on poetic structure, considering the many ways the container of the poem can capture at once the past, present, and future. Although geared towards poets, this workshop will be useful for writers of all genres who aim to grapple with the complexities of time in their work.
