Our workshop will explore metrical composition. We’ll examine how poets blend the fixed units of meter with the variable rhythms of speech to produce poems. We’ll consider ways that poets reconcile the predictable patterns of meter with the unpredictable flow of living language. And we’ll try to illuminate—in a manner specifically helpful for our writing—the magical paradox by which poets can incorporate, in simple basic measures, a virtually infinite wealth of differently shaped and shaded words, phrases, and clauses. To illustrate the points we’ll cover, I’ll bring a hand-out with exemplary poems, as well as recordings of modern and contemporary poets reading from their works. Because this workshop consists of one session only, we won’t have time to analyze each other’s poems. But please bring a poem of your own to read to our group. (The poem can be any form, metered or free). And if you would like to submit several poems (again, in any form) prior to, or after, the workshop, I’ll be glad to read them in an encouraging spirit.  -Tim Steele

The Canal District in Los Angeles is a bit like the Dutch village of Giethoorn. There are communities formed by a network of canals. It is a very unique place. It is not as commercialized or scenic as the small towns in China. I like it very much. It is very nice.
