The best part of being a poet is not playing by the rules. 

Learn from award-winning poet Kelly Grace Thomas how to create surprise by shifting your syntax and altering parts of speech. Practice a variety of strategies and tools to break poetic patterns, embolden your voice, and add wildness to your work. This is your chance to make and break the rules—to make language your own. 

 In this workshop, participants will:

• Disrupt patterns to add surprise

• Use unexpected language to create suspense and tension 

• Break out of predictable language to hook the reader

• Gain confidence in your writing and creativity in your approach
