VIRTUAL EVENT
LiTFUSE presents Sound Effects: A Conversation with Alexandra Teague and Brooke Matson (Milkweed author of In Accelerated Silence). This event will be presented on Zoom at 5pm PT. Learn more.
Poetry is akin to music, but too often, we get caught up in imagery and what we’re trying to say and forget about using language to make each line sing. Join Brooke Matson and Alexandra Teague for a conversation about how they integrate sonic elements into their writing process so that the poem’s lyricism is as vital as its imagery.
