Online Poetry Class

Some people believe that a poem comes from some magical place, the unconscious, the muse, the ether. Other people believe that a poem comes from the writer’s intention, and others still fall somewhere in between. In this course, we'll explore both the mysterious magical place where poetry might come from and learn about craft—the writer’s intention (sometimes through the subconscious). We’ll focus on craft and technique (the line, image, syntax, revision, and more), with an emphasis on language and the possibilities of language, so we'll be ready for magic when it arrives. Students will be pushed beyond your comfort zones—to experiment and try new things, and will leave the course with new poems, new inspirations, and seeds for new future poems.
​
The course will take place from 7pm-8pm EST, May 4th through May 25th over Zoom.
