In this weekend’s session, the cloud cohort will take a look at the following poems written in form.

< DOCUMENT HERE >

After we discuss each of these, we will choose one of these forms to write in.

Currently, we each have dropped writings into a collective generative writing document. And in this collection, we had thousands of parcels of language to play around with.

Each writer will be challenged by writing with another writer’s language like we see in Jamila Wood’s cento and Kimiko Hahn’s glosa.

  1. **Abecedarian Requiring Further Examination of Anglikan Seraphym Subjugation of a Wild Indian Rezervation** by Natalie Diaz (classic form)

  2. on naming yourself (a cento) by Jamila Woods (classic form of borrowing)

  3. “if” is a conjunction by Kimiko Hahn (classic, re-emerging form)

  4. **Pantoublock with Resilience and Kerosene** by Seth Leeper published in (combined form)

    ONLY POEMS

  5. **the gigans: iii.** by Ruth Ellen Kocher (invented form)
