  • VIDEO: Strategies to Edit Poems: Poetry Workshop Session
    Dec 13 2024

    If you are interested in poems, poetry, or spoken word, you'll enjoy hearing this discussion on how to edit a poem in a workshop setting.
    We approach the poem the way a poetry editor may approach it on a first read, analyzing the title, the first line, the closing, the structure, the figurative language, the motivations, the speaker and characters, the stakes--all the devices you need to make a poem stand out to your reader!
    As you go through the video, consider sharing with us in the comments what you noticed about the piece, what stands out to you, and what questions you have as you do your own marginalia with us!
    Thanks to Cierra Jackson for allowing us to explore her work!
