ASYNCHRONOUS with LIVE ELEMENTS
Have you ever thought, “I’d love to do a writing residency, but I don’t have time, or am not able to travel right now?” Or maybe you’ve thought, “I want to get a lot done, but don’t want to write in isolation!” This is a friendly, but rigorous, community-based, four-week Winter course you can take from your desk, favorite café, or couch with the goal of setting you up to write five to six new poems in the span of four weeks. You will write new poems based off of prompts inspired by movement and give and receive feedback on peer work while reading poems by Richard Blanco, Rita Dove, Elizabeth Bishop, and James Wright. This Winter, we’ll travel through our poems and think about the ways language transports us.
Optional Live Element: We will hold an attendance-optional poetry reading via Zoom during the last week of the course to celebrate your work!
