Documentary Poetry: Writing the Facts in Stanzas [Anastacia-Renee]
All Levels | Documentary poetry captures historical moments in words and images. The poet may use multiple points of view, historical records and quotations, and even visual imagery or video. In this class, we’ll discuss and create mixed-genre contemporary documentary and historical poems, excavating and drawing literary inspiration from Patricia Smith, Tarfia Faizullah, Robin Coste Lewis, Bettina Judd, Claudia Castro Luna, and Quenton Baker.
