SUMMARY:Reading & Writing Contemporary Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Write new poems based on exciting new poetic voices! \nIn this generative poetry course\, we will immerse ourselves in the landscape of contemporary poetry and craft our own poems. Each week\, we will read works published in contemporary literary journals from a diverse range of writers including Patrycja Humienik\, KB Brookins\, Kenzie Allen\, Hanif Abdurraqib\, and many others. We will also engage with their work via interviews/craft essays. We will then use techniques and inspiration from them to kickstart our writing process. With writing exercises and prompts\, students can expect to write at least one poem a week. There will be opportunities to receive written feedback on your work from your peers\, plus feedback from the instructor across the duration of the class.
