How to Add Energy and Excitement to a Poem 

Surprise is the backbone of any poem. Join award-winning poet Kelly Grace Thomas in this generative workshop to learn how to use tight transitions, unexpected turns, and lyrical leaps to create tension tight enough to have readers racing to the next line. With a heavy emphasis on voltas, we will turn poems over and over to heighten your craft and compel the reader forward.

In this workshop participants will: 

• Use surprise to create leaps in logic 

• Learn techniques to use voltas to strengthen your work 

• Break patterns to create momentum 

• Remove connective tissue to create risk and danger

Cancellation Policy: Tuition is non-refundable 48 hours prior to the workshop or first workshop in the series. If you are unable to attend, you will be sent the recording and materials 24 hours after the workshop. You can also gift or sell your spot to another participant.
