VIRTUAL Poetry Workshop by Eileen Albrizio

6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

Event Details

In the second of the two poetry workshops we will briefly reinforce some of the

essentials of the first workshop, concentrating on eliminating the abstract and

embracing the concrete and the essentials of “show, don’t tell.” We will then go on

to explore another traditional form, the sonnet, in which we will learn the

fundamentals of iambic pentameter and how to incorporate that meter into a rhyme

scheme that is natural and not forced. We will use some workshop time to write a

line or a few lines of a sonnet, just so you can get the feel of the rhythm before you

endeavor to write a full poem on your own. I encourage everyone to take copious

notes and there will be time at the end of the workshop for questions.

Instructor: Eileen Albrizio, author of the novel The Windsome Tree, and the book

of poetry and short fiction The Box Under the Bed.
