3 Sessions In this class, we'll develop actionable strategies for dreaming and writing the poems that are missing from your manuscript-in-progress. Engage in reading, generative exercises, and collaborative editing, with the goal of completing the book of poems inside you. Especially geared towards students who have taken Assembling the Manuscript, but also for anyone ready to take risks and generate new materials toward a collection of poems.
Please note that this class has been rescheduled from the fall quarter, and it is not listed in the winter print catalog.
