Discover poetry's collision with the dictionary and re-make language in this one-day poetry course with Kate Potts.
In this workshop
How might poets use, publicise and critique the dictionary in their work?
Discover poetry's collision with the dictionary through the work of Kei Miller, Mary Kinzie, Solmaz Sharif and Sarah Howe.
You will experiment with dictionary definition form, Oulipan dictionary-related constraints, and dialect words, re-making the language for your own poetic purposes and creating new poems for your collection.
