The Real News in Poems
All Levels | The news is abrasive because it’s incomplete. It’s the bitterness without the coffee, the salt without the pickle, the acid without the balsamic glaze aged ten years in oak barrels in Tuscany. It is the poet’s job to turn fact into food, loss into learning, and pain into song. In this workshop we will talk back to facts that leave us hungry by writing poems that nourish. This class has an hour lunch.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online until further notice. If there's a possibility that your class might take place in person, you will be notified in advance. Even if classes can be held in person, there will always be a hybrid option to participate via Zoom.
Classes with "Zoom" in the title will be held via Zoom even after our doors open. Classes listed as "Online" will be held on Wet Ink, our platform for asynchronous learning.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
