Explore how to write a glosa, a courtly form that steals a quatrail from another poet’s work to structure a poem of your own, in the course of which you create a glosa – or gloss on that poet’s work. Tangling with your chosen poet may allow her or his subtle influence to inform your tone and expand your expressive range. Workshop includes a copy of instructor Bonnie Quan Symon’s beautiful chapbook of glosas and handouts.
