How is perception rendered into language? How do we go about the tricky business of representing the physical world on the page? Description isn’t there just to make a poem feel more vivid; it’s a way of revealing the self, characterizing the perceiver. In this seminar, we’ll look at a number of exemplary poems and practice with exercises designed to enrich sensory detail and get more of your individual way of knowing the world onto the page.
