Poetry Workshop with Danez Smith

Poems as Time Machines 

Since the beginning of time we’ve been obsessed with time. How does it move? How are we held within it? How can we move in and out of it? In this workshop with Pulizter Prize finalist Danez Smith, we’ll read a sampling of poets going forward, backwards, and deeper into time before designing our own machines (hint: it’s poems) that will move us across the timeline to discover what waits for us and our ambitions if we dive into the stream and let it carry us further into our imaginations.
