Movement in Poetry Workshop w Lila Cutter | Sep 17 - Oct 22 | Zoom

Any moment can be moving with the right tools, and poetry does it best: elevating the mundane and letting us linger in an experience. But how does it move us? In this generative workshop we will explore how formal aspects of poetry like line breaks, stanzas, and sound, work together to create an immersive experience. Through readings, discussion, and engaging writing exercises we’ll discover how to use form to shape content, making poems ripple beyond the page. No prior knowledge of poetry is needed for this generative workshop, just curiosity and an excitement to write.

A Statement of Our Values

The Attic Institute of Arts and Letters opposes the legitimation of bigotry, hate, and misinformation. As a studio for writers, we do not tolerate harassment or discrimination of any kind. We embrace and celebrate our shared pursuit of literature and languages as essential to crossing the boundaries of difference. To that end, we seek to maintain a creative environment in which every employee, faculty member, and student feels safe, respected, and comfortable — even while acknowledging that poems, stories, and essays delve into uncomfortable subjects. We accept the workshop as a place to question ourselves and to empathize with complex identities. We understand that to know the world is to write the world. Therefore, we reaffirm our commitment to literary pursuits and shared understanding by affirming diversity and open inquiry.
