PSNY Virtual Workshop: Quirky Character POV with Jen Cheng

With poet Jen Cheng!

Want to switch the tone of your writing and try out a different voice? Poems can be more amusing when told from a quirky character's point of view. Using improv exercises to explore and embody a comedic archetype, we will unravel a poem and knit it into something “next in fashion.” We’ll take a piece of writing and change it with several points of view to make new magic that will surprise you.
