Poetry Drive: Making a Poem GO [Sierra Nelson]

Intermediate | In this class we’ll explore more ways to get poetry revving on the page and experiment with a variety of “machine[s] made of words” (W.C. Williams) to expand our ideas of what a poem can be (including prose poems, calligrams, some traditional forms, and associative verse). With a focus on in-class writing prompts and reading, by the end you’ll have a portfolio of new work and more fuel for keeping your writing going.
