In this four-week generative poetry workshop we will explore rhythm, rhyme, humor, and the rich history of celtic ancestry with four Irish poets: Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill, Medbh McGuckian, Eavan Boland, and Seamus Heaney. We will read deeply each week, explore each poet’s craft tools, and apply these techniques to our work. Participants will receive a packet with poems and suggestions for developing their writing.
