Radical Revision: An Introductory Workshop on Revising Poetry

Oliver Egger

Explore how to approach poetry revision as a creative and generative process. We often think of revising a poem as simply trimming a few lines or adding a stanza, but radical revision transforms editing into an act of creation. Instead of spending 2.5 hours polishing a single poem, participants will produce five new pieces that expand upon one original work by experimenting with shifts in content, perspective, form, and sound. This workshop is ideal for both beginners and experienced poets alike.

Drawing from the Inside Out

In person

Kate Henderson

Students are invited to move beyond observation and explore an object’s inner life, structure, and essence. Instead of simply rendering what is seen on the surface, participants will imagine what lies beneath — the internal rhythms, hidden forms, and unseen energy that give an object its character. Through a process of analysis and invention, students will deconstruct and reconstruct familiar forms, transforming them into expressive, abstracted drawings that blur the line between representation and imagination. Students are encouraged to move beyond their "normal" drawing mediums and explore mixing mediums and collage.
