Craft Lab w/ Jon Sands
Sun, May 14, 5–8 PM (ET)

Early registration is now open for our next craft lab on May 14, "Just This and Only Everything: If, When and How to Use Description," led by Jon Sands! Register by May 7 to save $15, or request financial aid through May 12. Members can take $25 off at any time. FYI we've dropped the full price of registration to $95 (previously $110).

Each of the poems we’ll look at in this three-hour craft lab describe an action in meticulous detail. But how do those details allow for commentary, context and associative leaps? How do you communicate both the physical and emotional reality of a moment? This isn’t just about description, or how the amount of patient detail you grant a poem can lend it weight. This is about filling in the gap between what you notice with your senses, and what you know to be actually happening. The poems we’ll read and write together are where careful observation meets context, seen through your particular eye and defined by your particular experiences. They’ll be keyholes—that small—to which we put our eyes, and on the other side is everything. Fear and bravery, wonder and melancholy, history and catharsis.
