Making Trouble in Triolets at The HalloZINE FAIR

Spooky scary skeletons invite you to book your spot on a spooktacular free creative workshop at the HalloZINE FAIR...

Making Trouble in Triolets (and other poetic forms)

Are you familiar with a sonnet? What about triolet? Ghazal? Imayo? At this beginner-friendly workshop, dip your toes into the world of short poetic forms! Whether you try six new forms or stick with one and master it, I'll set you up with a one-page zine and let you explore. Explore the table examples of forms both familiar and new. Ask questions, get messy, and--like all the best poets--make trouble.
