SUMMARY:RCAH Center for Poetry Workshop with Richard Mulkey
DESCRIPTION:
 "Principles of Pattern: Inspiration through Emulation"\n
 As 
 writers we are always battling two 
 forces-chaos and control. Our job is to balance 
 those forces, to bring delight to a reader 
 through the recognition of patterns and continuities, 
 and to heighten that delight by 
 introducing radical and unexpected adjustments 
 to those patterns. By investigating Bop poems, 
 blues poems, sonnets and techniques such 
 as anaphora and lineation in the works of poets 
 Lucille Clifton, Campbell McGrath and others, 
 we will consider patterns and structures 
 as something to try on, walk into, a temporary 
 home, a borrowed manner or means of movement. 
 We will complete writing exercises meant to 
 help us think of form as a way to expand our 
 vision as poets rather than limit that vision.\n

 Richard 
 Mulkey is the author of five poetry
