The Abstract Autobiographical Poem: This workshop will focus on crafting and revising “Abstract” Autobiographical Poetry. Every person is the premier expert of their own life story; for this reason, it is a natural inclination to want to write autobiographically. This workshop will explore ways to be experimental, and even fantastical, with autobiographical poetic writing.

*Space is limited to 20 participants. Registration is required.

Hypertext Poetry, an experimental sub-genre of digital poetry, creates a non-linear experience for the reader. Links can be visual, text or even sound. In using hyperlinks, beginning are no longer beginnings and ends are no longer ends. If you are interested in experimenting with form, hypertext poetry moves beyond the page and offers opportunity for the unexpected with constraints in the digital sphere. To get started, we will review experimental poetry (and specifically hypertext poetry) and get started on generating our first hypertext poem.

*Space is limited to 20 participants. Registration is required.
