Poetry Workshops: ISLA + Lummis Day Festival "A Machine Made of Words" with Rick Bursky

 UCLA Extension Writers' Program and USC Adjunct Professor of Poetry Rick Bursky leads free poetry workshop, "A Machine Made of Words"

The great American poet William Carlos Williams referred to a poem as a "machine made out of words" -- it has its own secret mechanisms and power. Rick Bursky's workshop will help you evolve a new poem and concentrate on trimming extra words, focusing on the language itself and not simply the "story."
