NORTHEAST COLLEGE OF POETRY PRESENTS
A LINE THAT DANCES
A WORKSHOP ON THE USE OF CADENCED FREE VERSE
WITH WILLIAM SEATON
SATURDAY, JULY 5th 1:00PM
IN SELIGMANN'S STUDIO
23 WHITE OAK DRIVE, SUGAR LOAF, NY 10981
FREE AND OPEN TO ALL
Often free verse and rhythmic poetry are considered polar opposites, but in fact virtually all good writing occupies a space somewhere between. Seaton will present examples of effective but irregular rhythmic patterns and of significant variation in more formally predictable meters. Participants will experiment with consciously manipulating poetic beats.
Seaton is the author of Spoor of Desire: Selected Poems. Producer of Poetry on the Loose, the College of Poetry Workshop series, and periodic Surreal Cabarets, he also maintains a blog at williamseaton.blogspot.com.
The next workshop on August 2 titled “Capturing the Muse: A workshop in Radical Imagination” will be led by Steve Hirsch.
