Are you curious about writing formal poetry but don’t know how to start? Have you been using form but want to learn more? Are you afraid of sounding archaic, or like a Hallmark card? In this generative workshop we will explore and experiment with ghazals, pantoums, and a word-search form invented by Terrance Hayes. Poets at all levels welcome. Learn how to turn form from a cage into a hug.

Our weekly poets circle, Circle Up, is happening every Thursday night from 6 PM to 7 PM at X House in Nyack. This week, I’m thinking on doing a performance/delivery workshop, but usually we do either writing or editing. If you want weekly emails or texts about that, let me know and I can add you to the proper list. If you can swing it, cost is $5, paid directly to the venue.

ABOUT BEN ASEN: A photographer in New York City for over 40 years, Ben specializes in event, corporate, non-profit, editorial, and portrait photography. He is deeply inspired by the city’s architecture, energy, and diversity, capturing its many layers through his lens. “My work is about truly seeing the beauty in the ordinary and the extraordinary in the everyday. I like to think of my photographs as windows, offering a glimpse into a world where light and shadow dance, and where each moment holds the potential for discovery and a cinematic moment.”
