Writing Workshop: Nonsense Poetry

What to know

Write nonsense poetry together with author Peter Adolphsen About the workshop Nonsense and gibberish is a proud literary tradition, arguably as old as the phenomenon of language. Based on the genre's überclassic, "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll, as well as a number of other examples, we must try ourselves in the noble art of not giving meaning at a high and unique level.
