CTRL+F: Assembling and Resembling the Poem

The romantic notion that one needs to be ‘inspired’ to write poetry is passé — Holly Isemonger and Ella Skillbeck-Porter’s teachings are grounded in the Dadaist idea that poetry is for everyone and that everyone can make poetry. Dive into experimentation with procedure, constraint, chance and technology to generate poems. Have fun with language, play poetry games, learn new methods of composition and find poetry in surprising and unexpected places.
