Tod's field comp workshop will be fire. He's taught me everything I know about using white space. And weirdly projective verse if way undertaught. See you there!
In 2 weeks! My FIELD COMPOSITION workshop: https://t.co/V849UDO3uC I'll be conducting a generative, non-critique workshop titled "TRIP the LINE FANTASTIC: COMPOSING POEMS that DANCE." More info below. All levels welcome! Please REPOST & share elsewhere!

Lucas Mancini’s words almost forced my dog to see me cry. Holy tinned sardines left out in the sun for hours. Wholly fake mackerel. Thank you @mangiafakir for reading me so insightfully and brilliantly when I deserve to be properly dragged. 🖤 Your writing made my day. (faints)
There’s no annex of easy solutions to the catalogue of personal or political problems. There is refreshingly little prescription in this book. @mangiafakir reviews the new book MY HERESIES from @aliner. Link ↓

Check out @UofNO @CWWMFA poetry candidate Julie Landry's fine poem in the new Midway Journal. "Phobiata" was inspired by visiting poet @TodEdge 's field composition workshop. Brava, Julie! https://t.co/oujgKP2mEg
