Part of The Poetry Society of New York's Weekly Virtual Workshop Series.

With poet Taneum Bambrick!

Every poet I know wishes they wrote more about tenderness, joy, and friendship. In generative course, we discuss a few famous poetry friendships, and how those friendships benefitted or changed the writers' work. We will also look at the tenderness of friendship as both a concern of form and content in several poems by poets, following that exercise with corresponding prompts.
