The Poem’s Process
The Poem’s Process Word and world: such are the twin passions of every poet, sometimes at odds, each asking us to risk something, to broaden the horizons of the poem as we write it. This class will encourage and explore the composition of new poems through a variety of exercises designed to awaken our sense of expressive possibilities and engage the world in and around us. Each day students will look at innovative lyrics from the contemporary American tradition and be given a series of assignments to choose from or combine. Some assignments will concern the poem’s technique, the body of its language, and others will be more focused on where that body takes us, how we blaze a trail in the mind. New poems will be shared each day in a productively oriented environment in hopes that discussions will send writers forward with a renewed desire to write, to face that sometimes formidable door, the empty page, and open.
