Intermediate, Introductory 6 Sessions
6 Sessions What happens when we consider form as a space for inspiration and discovery rather than limitation? In this course, participants will read and write both traditional forms (i.e. sonnet, ghazal) and modern, experimental forms (erasure, golden shovel). Works discussed may include poems by A. Van Jordan, Agha Shahid Ali, Harryette Mullen, and Jericho Brown, among others. There will be two classes dedicated to workshop. Submitting poems is entirely optional; however, everyone is expected to provide feedback.
ADDITIONAL CLASS DETAILS:
- This class includes:
- Generative Writing: students create new work during class or from assignments.
