During next week's #CraftClass, Writers Studio founder and director Philip Schultz will lead a discussion of techniques used by Osip Mandelstam in STOLEN AIR, a collection of his selected #poems. #FridayReads #poetry #poem #poets
Mandelstam lived in exile under Stalin’s dictatorship, and yet, according to #poet Ilya Kaminsky, Mandelstam wrote some of his “best (and most joyful) writing [during] his darkest personal hours.” Join us Tuesday, December 17th to find out how he did it.
