About the event
Join poets Mary Lou Buschi and H.E. Fisher for this online 4-hour intensive—a creative exploration into the "architecture" of poetry collections. Much like a cathedral—or a concept album—this class focuses on studying how collections are constructed: sections, no sections, center-hinge, single concept, and so on.

Perfect for both poetry lovers and for poets who are seeking to structure collections of their own. Suggested reading list will be provided.
