Making Poetry Machines with Hannah Jenkins and Rory Green
Event description
Join us at Verge for Making Poetry Machines, a workshop led by poets and Crawlspace co-founders Hannah Jenkins and Rory Green. This workshop will explore hand-made, human-scale approaches to generative, computational poetry – as both a methodology for writing, and as an avenue for publishing – drawing on the poetry in the exhibition and on Crawlspace.
