Local Nyack poet Lily Greenberg will leading a generative poetry workshop.
Event description: Imitation of other writers has long been a practice of
poets. By learning how other poems work, we can, in turn, sharpen our tools
to use in our own work. In this one-hour workshop, we will explore two very
different poems and take time to draft imitations, as well as share and
discuss our findings.
