In this 8-week workshop, intermediate and advanced students will explore those moments when a poem catches its own voice --through stylistic choices and formal considerations. While workshopping participants? new poems will be the heart of each class, there will also be time for a brief discussion of contemporary poems and an in-class writing prompt. Specific exercises will be given to free the imagination, and quiet the inner censor. By the end of the class, students will have produced seven original poems and one revision, and will have refined their poetic voice. Please bring 15 copies of a poem you love (not your own) to the first session, as well as 15 copies of one of your own. Note: No class 9/25/2014.
