Workshop: Building Poems from Scraps: Making Old Things New with Sherre Vernon

Workshop

Building Poems from Scraps:
Making Old Things New
**Please note all times are listed in EST**  

For this workshop, you will be asked to bring drafts of old poems that aren’t “working” for you. These might be finished poems, or they might be scraps of incomplete poems, sentences or paragraphs. We will use several techniques to infuse new life into them. You will leave the workshop with at least one new draft that surprises you. Writers who are new to poetry, but have old bits of prose to repurpose, are welcome.
