In this workshop, participants will consider the powerful poetic device of lineation in some of its various forms – specifically line length, enjambment, and end stops. By reviewing and discussing examples and trying out different techniques, participants will explore how a poet’s conscious decision on how to move from line to line can impact a poem’s rhythm, meaning, and overall effect. Since lineation generally does not have hard and fast rules, poets must decide how and when to break or end a line intentionally and effectively. The workshop will conclude with timed prompts for participants to try out discussed techniques with an opportunity to share.
