Matthew Olzmann is the author of Constellation Route as well as two previous collections of poetry: Mezzanines and Contradictions in the Design. In addition to discussing your poems, this will be a generative workshop with some in-class writing and some additional take-home “assignments.” The goal is to emerge at the end of the week with some newly made poems in hand, as well as some strategies to use in the poems you’ll continue to write long after our time together is over. To do that, we’ll study the ways in which a reader’s expectations are established, and then we’ll look at how those expectations might then be subverted, complicated, or intensified. Richard Hugo says, “A poem can be said to have two subjects, the initiating or triggering subject, which starts the poem or ‘causes’ the poem to be written, and the real or generated subject.” This workshop will consider how a poem turns between these two points of focus, and how it guides or startles the reader from one “subject” to the next.

No advance reading or preparation necessary. We’ll use the “verum factum” principle (maker’s knowledge) to generate poems during the workshop. During the week we will look at how an assortment of canonical and contemporary poems are in conversation with other poems and other genres (music, film, journalism). This generative workshop will explore the ways active reading can lead to new poems.

How might we make the voices we generate more audible to readers? Why should we? And what does any of this have to do with the end of the world? * From Diane Seuss’s frank: sonnetsĪdrian Blevins is the author of the forthcoming Status Pending (Four Way Books, 2023), Appalachians Run Amok, Live from the Homesick Jamboree, The Brass Girl Brouhaha, and a co-edited collection of essays by new and emerging Appalachian writers. We’ll then move into our own generative experiments to try to trouble our own voice(s) with new sounds (and silences). In this workshop, we’ll work together to interrogate what we mean when we talk about a poet’s “voice.” We’ll look at poems by poets working from a wide range of aesthetic sensibilities, aims, and ambitions in order to ask who or what speaks in or through a poem. “When the lamb humped her leg Lil said it was getting on / her last nerve”*: Writing Voice-y Now Poetry | Fiction | Nonfiction Morning IntensivesĪdrian Blevins | Morning Poetry Intensive
