Discussion on RHYME with David Horowitz
Friday, July 24th, 2009Seattle poet and publisher, David Horowitz, will lead a discussion on rhyme this Monday, 7/27 at Looking Glass Books in Portland. David’s a wonderfully gifted poet and citizen of poetry, and it’s a pleasure to know he’ll be spending some time in the Rose City.
David’s discussion will focus on using unpredictable, compelling rhyme, and how subtle changes of perspective on rhyme can help writers recognize its potential to subvert expectation, deepen meaning, and sound completely contemporary. He will also address issues of meter and rhythm.
Visit Rose Alley Press, David’s imprint, to learn more about his work. He has also been a guest writer on the site, and has contributed his time in way of an interview.
