Deep Wordplay [Erica Sklar]

All Levels | By stripping language of its meaning, creating words, and focusing on sounds, shapes, and pleasure, this is an opportunity to step away from purpose and instead experience the joy of words for their own sake. We’ll find surprise, meaning, and clarity in fresh ideas, and study and create everything from lyric essay to ekphrastic poetry to found poetry. Genre-bending will add to a vision of experimentation that writers can employ inside or apart from more traditional forms.
