Identifying modes of poems is an underused method of diagnosing why they satisfy the reader (or don’t). In this workshop, we’ll define the four basic modes of poems (lyric, narrative, argument, description) and read examples of each. Then we’ll turn to participants’ poems, asking whether the poem’s current structure is its best structure. To do that, we might imagine a narrative poem as a lyric or vice versa. Bring copies of two poems that you’re unhappy with.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online-either through Zoom or through Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform-through Winter quarter 2021.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
