Villanelle Workshop by Richard Hoffman

The villanelle has a kind of sonic integrity that, in the hands of a skilled poet, has few equals among poetic forms, it has been used to express humor, outrage, loneliness, melancholy, joy, dissent, love, and more. It is perhaps the simplest to fulfill but the hardest to master. Join Richard Hoffman for an hour of exploring and enjoying this most versatile of fixed forms, and leave with the tools and inspiration to write your own.

Richard Hoffman has published four volumes of poetry, Without Paradise; Gold Star Road, winner of the Barrow Street Press Poetry Prize and the Sheila Motton Award from The New England Poetry Club; Emblem; and his new collection Noon until Night. His other books include the celebrated Half the House: a Memoir, published in a 20th Anniversary Edition in 2015 with an introduction by Louise DeSalvo, the 2014 memoir Love & Fury, and the story collection Interference and Other Stories. His work, both prose and verse, appears in such journals as Agni, Barrow Street, Colorado Review, Consequence, Harvard Review, Hudson Review, The Literary Review, The Manhattan Review, Poetry, Witness and elsewhere. He is Senior Writer in Residence at Emerson College in Boston, nonfiction editor at Solstice: A Magazine of Diverse Voices, and an adjunct Assistant Professor at Columbia University.
