Established in 2016, Slipform is a poetry workshop that uses formal poetic structures to explore gender and sexuality. Slipform is delighted to host this FREE virtual poetry writing workshop in partnership with Loyalty Bookstores, a powerhouse of independent bookstores in the DMV! During this workshop, you will learn to write in the tiny and mighty cinquain form.

Slipform allows writers to hone their craft while examining a multitude of fierce poetic voices. Slipform workshops are led by Danielle Evennou, published poet, former co-host of Sparkle, DC’s long-running queer open mic.

There’s so much to love about the villanelle! Its repetition lends itself to surprises and unlikely comparisons.
