Poets often say that the space between the words is as important as the words themselves. And, they're right. This lesson teaches you about blank space, what it does and how to use it. Bring a spatial and visual dimension to your writing by mastering blank space.

#07 Blank Space is a perfect companion to #06, The Line. I highly recommend studying both together to get the most benefit out of each.

What's included in this class?

• A lecture on why poems have blank space, things you can do with blank space, examples of how different poets have used blank space differently to powerful and surprising effect.

• Two exercises exploring how to use blank space in your own poems.
