Lineation Elation: Lineate Your Poems With Confidence & Expression

Feeling confused about where and how to break your lines? Join us to explore a "toolkit" of strategies to help you lineate your poems with confidence and expression. We'll discuss how lineation choices can impact tone, meaning, emphasis, pacing, surprise, and more. Students can expect to lineate the work of others—and their own!—using a variety of approaches to create various effects. Bring 2–3 draft poems to class for experimentation (ideally about 8–10 lines long).

HAPPY HOUR FLASH SALE! All spring classes are 10% off now through Monday, May 15. Discount taken in your cart at checkout.
