The Serendipity of Repetitive Forms and Devices

Repetition often opens up new and unexpected vistas in poetry. It often does this by way of the revelations of word association, the transformation and estrangement from the familiar that come from demanding more of the simple, the mutations of proximity to discordant concepts, as well as illuminating accidents. In this workshop, participants will draft a poem combining at least two forms or devices that will be provided, writing toward weird discovery.
