Experiments with Repetition in Poetry
Each time we approach the page we are the same person, yet unique in that moment. How does the act of repetition help us discover something new in our work and in ourselves? Taking a generative approach to this question, we’ll create new drafts in class by playing with some traditional forms (such as the villanelle, pantoum, sestina, and ghazal), as well as experimenting more wildly using movement, dreams, Surrealist games, collaboration, and radical revisions to spark new work.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
