Dive into documentary poetry at VisArts this fall

7/20/2016

 
I'll be teaching a Documentary Poetry class at VisArts from 6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. on Tuesdays this fall (Sep. 13 - Oct. 18). Online registration is open and the print catalogs come out tomorrow.  

Please share the course info with anyone you know who might be interested!

Description: 
There’s an alchemy that can happen when research and poetry meet. Perhaps you have felt the pull to write poetry inspired by family letters, an ancestor’s journal, or documents connected to someone you admire – or even to a current event that fascinates or troubles you. Even if you don’t have a specific source in mind, this class is the perfect place to learn about the wide range of documentary poetics. Students will write and share their work in a format designed to provide each writer with specific, constructive feedback in a safe and welcoming environment.
