negative space: setting poetry on fire

Fiona Jin

How can writers manipulate the unique character of what is not there to draw special attention to what is? Fiona Jin’s workshop will discuss examples of self-erasing poetry, minimalist versus maximalist imagery, unique use of white space/form, and challenge participants to write their own. What's left when we burn certain words away?

Fiona Jin is a writer in the Chicago Metropolitan Area. Outside of poetry, she loves drawing and visiting art museums.
