Participants are welcome to submit a piece of their work for an anthology This workshop is taught by Julie Cavacco. Julie discovered the new form called Duplex this past summer. Jericho Brown developed the form and wrote, “I write in forms because formal work helps to push me toward saying what I couldn’t imagine I would say in a poem.” Duplex is meant to be thoughtful and bluesy. When you begin it the form brings you to an end that you couldn’t have planned.
