About this Event
Join Anastacia-Reneé's final Cave Canem Fall Workshop session, for a reading from students and Anastacia-Reneé herself.
Looking to music as a guiding light, this workshop will take risks and open creative doors that either elevate existing forms, or create new ones, influenced by our mixtape. Workshop participants will end each class with a draft and study forms such as: The Nines, Haibun, The Bop, Epistolary, The Duplex, Persona, Documentary, Memoir Poetry and The Eintou.
Reception with light refreshments at 6:30pm (ET)
