DESCRIPTION:When drafting a poem\, how do we know where to end a line of p
 oetry or begin a new one? At times\, it can feel like guesswork (or just v
 ibes). But within a poem\, each line is a new opportunity to create a dist
 inct unit of meaning within the larger sentence and poem. In this class we
  will study a variety of fixed and free verse poems to explore different s
 trategies for shaping our poetic lines. We will also read short excerpts f
 rom James Longenbach’s The Art of the Poetic Line to ground our discussi
 on. Finally\, we will try revising our own poems to practice what we have 
 studied. \n\nRemote 2-Hour Craft Session | Saturday | September 19 | 11:30
 am-1:30pm ET | $60 ($55 for Members)  \nThis remote class will take pla
 ce on Zoom. The Zoom link will be emailed to you by a staff member in the
  week leading up to the class start date. \n\nAll are welcome\, space is 
 limited. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available. Please
  email support@poetshouse.org with any questions. By attending or partic

 e Faith\, from Four Way Books (US) and the87press (UK). Her poems can be f
 ound or are forthcoming in The Los Angeles Review of Books\, The Academ

DESCRIPTION:憑博物館門票免費入場 Free with Museum Admission \n \
 n中秋月圓人團圓，旅美作家的鄉愁往往透過文字表露無
 遺。散文作為文學最古老的形式之一，既貼近真實生活
 ，也讓作家得以細細凝視自身與世界；相較於其他文類
 ，它往往更直接地與讀者對話。 \n美國華人博物館適逢
 中秋佳節，邀請作家陳九暢談散文創作，並從他的三本
 作品——《紐約第三隻眼》、《曼哈頓的中國大咖》與
 《野草瘋長》——出發，回望他長年旅居美國、身為離
 散作家的所見所聞。從紐約街頭的人事風景，到個人記
 憶與故鄉想像，陳九將分享如何將真實經驗轉化為文字
 ，並進一步探討散文作為非虛構寫作，如何游移於真實
 與想像、記憶與現實之間。 \n當我們書寫真實時，究竟
 是在記錄什麼？而散文又如何在虛實之間，成為文學？ \
 nJoin acclaimed writer Chen Jiu for a conversation on diasporic writing an
 d the art of the essay\, exploring how lived experience\, memory\, and ima
 gination transform reality into literature. Drawing from his three collect
 ions\, Chen Jiu reflects on the ways nonfiction writing moves between trut
 h and imagination\, memory and reality\, and home and elsewhere. \n  \n
