Variant Literature is excited to announce Trusting the Image: List Poems, a free poetry workshop led by writer Ashley Kim. Register here.
The list poem is a form built on uniquely trusting that images placed in sequence will create meaning. At heart, this is what all poetry aims to do: use images — the precise, concrete, and colorful — not argument or explanation, to communicate.
Together, we’ll learn about list poems and create our own in this generative poetry workshop! Please register to write with us on:

Time: 6:00 PM PT / 8:00 PM CT / 9:00 PM ET
Duration: 90 minutes
Live on Zoom
Free to attend. Click here to register.
