Remote Poets House Workshop: Remixing the Page – Add 2 Cups of Flavor

What do instruction manuals, recipes, medical prescriptions, collage, and packing slips have in common? They are all alternative forms of receiving information. What if we intercepted that information for the sake of poetry?  In this workshop, participants will imagine and learn how to use these alternate forms to cartograph the self or the world. We’ll cover poems by Terrance Hayes, Evie Shockley, Jessica Greenbaum, and more. In class prompts will be given and participants will generate first drafts of new work.

3 hours on Saturday  |  Nov 16  |  12-3pm ET  |  $105 ($90 for Members)

Remote Workshops will take place on Zoom. Please register here
