Word Play: 6 Weeks of Poetry
Whether you’re an established writer trying to get back into a writing routine or an emerging writer looking for direction, this generative poetry class welcomes you to 6 weeks of readings, prompts, in-class writing, community-building, and gentle accountability. During our time together, we will read narrative and lyric poems with attention to the stanza and the line, sound play, and imagery as well as energy, tension, and bewilderment.
Led by a trauma-informed teaching artist and holistic creative writing coach, this course also seeks to guide participants toward a more sustainable writing life. Each week, we will seek opportunities to “fill the well,” as Julia Cameron puts it, and nourish our writing lives outside of the Zoom room: topics include “reading like a writer,” creative play, writer’s block, building creative community, and revision. Potential readings include work by Leila Chatti, Marie Howe, Jericho Brown, sam sax, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, among others.
