Do you remember how exciting it once was to find a crushed wasp or the first robin in March? In this generative course we will fiercely recollect the early-childhood process of image-making. Focusing on techniques such as synesthesia, anaphora and apostrophe we will play in the mud, so to speak, and rebuild our poems with the richness of our textured world. Students will each receive an email at the end of the class, outlining strengths in your work and offering ideas for moving forward
