"Improve Your Rhyming," with poet and publisher David D. Horowitz. In this workshop we will consider rhyme not only as an integral element of poetic craft but as a metaphor for connection and linkage. Skill-enhancing exercises will help you learn to use rhyme to enrich your poetry's music and thematic depth. There will be plenty of time to write and exchange viewpoints.
