In this two-hour chapbook-making workshop, you’ll create new poetry through a number of prompts, look at various editing strategies for refining your work and then conclude by making your very own chapbook from a single piece of paper. What you’ll need to bring are some handy-dandy writing implements (pen and paper), a heart ready to race in wonder, and hands open to trying out new ways of making small books

Kevin Spenst, a Pushcart Poetry nominee, is the author of Jabbering with Bing Bong, Ignite (both with Anvil Press), and over a dozen chapbooks including Pray Goodbye (the Alfred Gustav Press), Retractable (the serif of nottingham), and Surrey Sonnets (Jack Pine Press). His work has won the Lush Triumphant Award for Poetry, been nominated for both the Alfred G. Bailey Prize and the Robert Kroetsch Award for Innovative Poetry, and has appeared in dozens of publications including Prairie Fire, CV2, BafterC, Lemon Hound, Poetry is Dead, and the anthology Best Canadian Poetry 2014.
