What do we do with our darlings once we’ve severed them from their originating sources? A common practice is Frankensteining lines, stanzas, or whole—but unfinished—poems together to create a new piece. Frankensteining can help create unexpected turns, jumps, and connections, it can offer a new perspective and life for lines that you like but can’t find a place for.

Frankenstein Your Darlings will meet over Zoom on Thursday evenings from June 3rd–July 22nd at 6:00 PM–8:30 PM ET. In this 8-week poetry workshop, we will explore how to salvage the spare parts we collect over months and years. By studying the work of Jane Wong, Rick Barot, Michelle Peñaloza, Hannah Sanghee Park, Matthew Olzmann, and others, this workshop will practice different ways of creating connections between our darlings and the unexpected.

This workshop is open to Asian American writers. Registration is now open, and space is limited. There is one scholarship spot available. The deadline to apply for the scholarship is Thursday, May 13th. See the class page for more information.
