Experiment with poetry for the first time or expand on your poetry writing skills, then print your poems in the letterpress studio. We’ll complete a hands–on exploration of poetic forms such as erasure, tanka, cento and pantoum. Then we’ll use typewriters and explore ways of making poems with scissors, paper and glue. In addition to making poems, you’ll learn the basics of typesetting, letterpress printing and simple bookbinding techniques. Plan to walk away with several copies of a limited edition, collaborative chapbook, as well as a portfolio of your own poems.
