Villanelles!

Whether you’ve never written a villanelle, or want to improve your skills to write better ones, join us for a fun morning of reading and writing. With formal constraints, poets not only build stronger technical skills, they also discover new approaches that can help their writing in free verse. We’ll read some great examples and discuss what topics are the best fit for this form. Then you’ll begin to write your own. We’ll look at the craft elements of the villanelle: rhyme, repetition, line breaks and enjambement, and building narrative through repetition, and discuss revision tips.
