These are not our grandparent's
rhymes, nor are they the stuff of hallmark cards. But, if you are
passionate about language in all its infinite variety, we invite you to
come and experience – by actively reading and writing poetry – a journey
into some alternative, imaginative, and unexpected uses for words,
phrases, utterances, and exclamations of every sort and manner.
Let's discover together how poetry can inhabit all of these ideas, and
vice versa. Through in-class and take-home exercises, we will
explore various sources of poetry – engaging your own memory,
consciousness, perception, and attention – while developing the craft
and skills to express yourself in a unique and authentic voice. We
will "make the familiar strange," play surrealist games, take haiku
walks, work with Oulipo constraints, rewrite/recaption manga, movies,
and other media, practice experimental readings, and much more.
For all levels, ages, and sensibilities.
