poetry

Choose a Lugo vessel or painting that features a cultural or historical figure (Billie Holiday, Caroline LeCount, KRS-One, Clemente, Biggie, etc.).

Task:

Write a poem whose structure imitates the patterns on the vessel:

  • repetitions = decorative motifs

  • breaks or caesuras = cracks or glaze pooling

  • enjambments = flowing patterns

  • refrains = recurring symbols
