Grackle Art by Ann Stern
What makes a poem feel alive? This workshop focuses on poetic voice as a dynamic relationship between speaker and reader. Guided by Tony Hoagland’s craft principles in The Art of Voice, we’ll explore how poets use conversational rhythms, shifts in tone, borrowed voices, and patterned returns to create intimacy and authority on the page. We’ll write and revise poems that experiment with voice as a form of thinking—messy, responsive, and human
