A Harmonious Order: Form and Feeling
A unique opportunity to gather in the Merrill Apartment for a poetry writing workshop inspired by James Merrill's poems. We will read some of Merrill’s poems and discuss his use of forms like the haibun, villanelle and pantoum. Then, we will experiment with writing our own poems using those forms and discuss the possibilities which arise with closed forms.
Manan Kapoor is the author of A Map of Longings: The Life and Works of Agha Shahid Ali. His work has appeared in The Los Angeles Revies of Books, Harvard Review, Boston Review and The Caravan Magazine among others. He is an editor at Harvard Review and a PhD candidate at the Department of English at Harvard University where his work focuses on modern and contemporary poetry and poetics.
*Please note, the apartment is located on the third floor and is only accessible by stairs.
