This course utilizes Gregory Orr’s A Primer for Poets and Readers of Poetry, along with poets such as Ross Gay and Eduardo C. Corral to explore and invite creative thresholds in poetry. Through writing practice, reading, and discussion, students will be invited to risk vulnerability, challenge assumptions, and deeply pay attention to the mystery and potentiality of thresholds in our lives. Students can expect to create five to six new poem drafts, submitting two to the class for peer and instructor feedback.
