Advanced Poetry Workshop

As Jonathan Lethem says John Donne did say, “All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.” This class is for those who have committed themselves to reading and writing poetry. Students will make (and workshop) new poems out of a variety of obstructive exercises, using both invented and imitated forms in order to sidestep the usual ruts of imagination. We will discuss both the anxieties and the ecstasies of influence upon the practice of the poet while we practice the poets. Nice work if you can get it!

 

*Please note: The dates of this class have changed. This class no-longer meets on April 19, and now ends on May 17.*
