Join poet Jamie Asaye FitzGerald for a generative workshop that explores the way a poem can make, out of the smallest detail, a world.
We'll look at examples that approach subjects both modest and grand, from brief haiku to flowing free verse.
Together, we'll play and experiment with focus and expansion, leaping from the tiniest detail to much larger and surprising meanings, from personal to universal, from micro to macro and back again.
