Here's an opportunity either to improve your villanelle skills or to write your first one. With the help of a widely published author of villanelles, sonnets, and other poems, you'll read several classic and contemporary examples and then -- with or without shortcuts -- write one or more of your own. Next, you'll see how your new poem can be improved by revision. (Feel free also to bring one you've been working on.) You'll leave with at least one new or improved villanelle, as well as insights about how writing poetry in form can unlock deeper meaning and enhance everything you write.
