Lyceum Series: Anthony Gabriel – Accessing And Assessing The Abstract: A Poetry Workshop
September 21 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm CDT
Welcome to the lyceum.
These free, monthly workshops are held on the third Saturday of the month, and offer writers of every genre and skill level an opportunity to learn, experiment and develop their craft. We hope you’ll join us!
Poetry is a medium that relies on abstraction and dealing with abstract conceptions such as emotions and feeling, ideas, beliefs and concepts. Though poetry can and does rely on the concrete, it is rooted in places and spaces of introspection and reflection. In this workshop, participants will read and analyze examples of poetic abstraction, then apply these concepts in composition.
Anthony Gabriel is a poet who received his MFA at New Mexico State University, where he also served as the poetry editor of the literary magazine Puerto Del Sol. He currently lives in Denton, Texas with his wife and two kids and is pursuing his Ph.D. at the University of North Texas. His work can be found in The Red Rock Review, Beaver Mag, Swamp Ape Review and The Shore, among others.
