Join BC Professor and award-winning poet Allison Adair for a poetry workshop that explores The Poetic Wild. The event, which is part of the Concord Festival of Authors, will take place on Sunday, October 20 at 1 p.m. at the Main branch of the Concord Free Public Library (129 Main Street).
In this session, discussion of fresh images, unforgettable metaphors, expressive line-breaks, and the poetic “turn” are paired with quick-burst exercises to shake up our work and to discover what might lie just beyond our control.
Allison Adair’s recent poems appear in Best American Poetry (2018), Kenyon Review Online, North American Review, and ZYZZYVA. Her work has received the Pushcart Prize (2019), the Florida Review Editors’ Award, the Orlando Prize, and first place in Mid-American Review’s Fineline Competition. Adair teaches English and creative writing at Boston College.
