Where I’ll Be at AWP: F114 Redefining Lyric

62º ~ a fierce wind, gray skies, heating up to 70º today, chance of storms to follow

When one of the original participants had to step aside due to a timing conflict, I was lucky enough to be asked to join Andrew McFadyen-Ketchum’s wonderful panel for AWP.  I’m humbled by the company and thrilled to be among such wonderful poets.

Lyricism,
most commonly associated with poetry, is applied to nearly every genre
of narrative writing: plays, essays, music, stories, film, nonfiction,
and novels. But what happens when it works the other way around and
narrative elements of these forms are applied to lyric poetry? Join
PoemoftheWeek.org for a celebration of its first five years with a
reading by five of its award-winning and emerging poets whose work
explores this question, redefining lyricism and poetry itself along the
way.
