Inprint Writers Workshop - Poetry/In-Person 2526-203

Starting Wednesday, October 8, 6 - 9 pm, and meeting for 6 weeks this workshop takes place at the Inprint House, 1520 West Main Street, Houston 77006.

KT HERR, winner of the 2023 American Literary Review Prize in Poetry, leads this workshop The Floor Is Lava: A Poetry Workshop, designed to be part generative, part regenerative, part experiment, part juggernaut, part balancing act, part feat of imagination, part party trick, and part party––period. We’ll take a tour through some composition games involving specific prompts and constraints: nine-syllable lines! no using the letter “b”! no prepositions! collaborative composition! anagrams! received persona!. Then we’ll turn the workshop into our alchemy lab to encourage a more limber, experimental creative posture by introducing radical revision practices: reverse! half-life! scramble!. We will discover what happens to our composition and revision process when we decide to implement things like formal constraints, linguistic idiosyncrasies and time limits.
