How do contemporary poets evoke dynamic emotions and honor the complexities of the human experience in poetic form? Drawing inspiration from a wide range of poets who bend traditional forms and invent new ones—including Jericho Brown (the Duplex), Wanda Coleman (the American Sonnet), and Terrance Hayes (the Golden Shovel)—this generative course is all about play. Discover the power of reimagined forms, and invent new ones of your own, with plenty of examples and exercises to encourage experimentation.
Scheduling note: To accommodate the Thanksgiving holiday, there will be no class on November 27.
