Poetry is news that stays new, Ezra Pound said. What is it of our own lives that will stay new? How do we give voice to this moment in time? It is not so much the what as it is the how of our poems—the line and its mystery, our images and diction, the unexpected metaphor—that
cause poems to remain fresh.

In this session, we will consider how poems convey both the timely and the timeless. Using
prompts we will explore how we might craft poems that stay new, poems to surprise a future
reader with a sense of our particular time.
