Patience and Pacing [Tarfia Faizullah]

A.A. Milne wrote, “Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” In a world that seems to be moving faster and faster, it can be tempting to want our poems to write themselves as quickly. In this workshop, we’ll discuss patience as worldview, process, and tool, read and discuss poems that model the value of patience and pacing, as well as generate some drafts of our own.
