Finding Your Poetic Voice
With Amanda Roth
June 25 - July 1, 2023
In this course, we will read the work of modern poets who write at the intersections of identity, race, gender, privilege, oppression, and grief. We will also practice writing in a variety of poetic forms, including the sonnet, the abecedarian, the burning haibun, and more. We will participate in guided writing exercises, share our early drafts, and provide positive feedback to our peers. Finally, we will explore various brainstorming practices, including the compost heap and florilegium. Come prepared to write, write, write.
