April 19: ” ‘no: tongue breaks’: Poetry of the Fragment” with Dan Rosenberg

A workshop with Dan Rosenberg

April 19, 12-2:30 pm ET

In this generative workshop, we will explore the power of poems that we receive as fragmentary or broken. The subjects of our discussions will range from the unwitting matriarch of the fragment, Sappho, to the violently lapidary short lyrics of Paul Celan, to the contemporary explosion of erasure poetry as a site of both resistance and play. At the end of our exploration of several sample fragments, we will create our own, finding the pleasure in excavating distinct shards of beauty from a shared source text.
