Open to all levels 6 Sessions
6 Sessions We'll write six poems (or more!) in six weeks, focusing on poetic types such as elegy, epistle (letter poem), imitation (poetic palimpsest), ode, panegyric (praise/celebration), duplex, and golden shovel. We'll work in lyric and narrative modes, try experimental and nonce strategies, and read and discuss key pieces each week for ideas and inspiration. Through reading these poems and generating our own, with feedback from the instructor and class members, we will hone our craft and enlarge our inspirational spaces.
