This four week poetry workshop is based on a class taught at the former Corcoran School of Art. In “15 Works,” you’ll write 3 to 4 poems a week in response to assignments and prompts, with weekly themes. The workshop promises to stretch the boundaries of your imagination, silence your internal editor and help you establish a writing routine. This workshop will change your writing habits.

This four week poetry workshop is based on a class taught at the former Corcoran School of Art. In “15 Works,” you’ll write 3 to 4 poems a week in response to assignments and prompts, with weekly themes. Comments on one another’s poems will be limited to one poem per week unless you’d like to comment on more. The workshop promises to stretch the boundaries of your imagination, silence your internal editor and help you establish a writing routine. Students who have completed similar types of “extreme” generative workshops find that exhaustion allows them to be open, quick, and intuitive. Many of your poems will be silly, terrible, unfinished and sloppy. Many will be terrific drafts. This workshop will change your writing habits.
