Word Works 2022/23 Season
The following description comes from the event organizer.
For those who sit and stare in wonder at a sentence or a turn of phrase, marveling at how they came about, Word Works reveals how the magic happens. These craft talks by novelists, essayists, poets, and memoirists focus on writing as process rather than finished product, examining how language works to inspire and provoke new ideas through live close readings of the writer's own or others' work.Nicole Sealey: Why is Brigit Pegeen Kelly's "Song" the Perfect Poem?
