Location: Room 518, Level Two, Los Angeles Convention Center

Are poems ever finished, or just abandoned? In this panel, five poets will explore the process of a single published poem, from initial inspiration and drafting, through the process of revision, and focus on the moment they decided their work was finished—if it ever was. Focusing on works that experienced deep and significant changes throughout their writing, this panel will explore the way revision can reveal hidden rooms within an initial draft, and examine the moments those revisions end.

Speakers: Megan Pinto, James Fujinami Moore, Diannely Antigua, Taneum Bambrick, Michael Dhyne
