July 20 – Matt Mason It’s Time for the Lightening Round! Poetry is always about concision, about writing something small and quick with no excess of words or lines or ideas or lines like this way-too-long sentence. Let’s see what we can do with shorter poems, fitting ideas into smaller spaces like snapshots or meditations.

MATT MASON is the Nebraska State Poet and was Executive Director of the Nebraska Writers Collective from 2009-2022. Through the US State Department, he has run workshops in Botswana, Romania, Nepal, and Belarus.
