Forms & Features: Catalog Poem

All are welcome to a discussion and creative writing workshop led by Maggie Queeney. In June, we explore the catalog poem, which borrows form from the list, “the most archaic and pervasive of genres,” according to Jonathan Z. Smith.

The group will explore a wide variety of catalog poems and conclude with a guided workshop, where participants will compose original poems that use listing. To register, email library@poetryfoundation.org.
