In this writing course you will explore new ways into your writing, and think about perspective as much as imagination, feeling and accomplishment.
You will do this via writing exercises, as well as poems brought to class for discussion. There will be a writing and workshop element to all classes, so this course will be ideal for poets who are seeking inspiration for new avenues in their writing, as well as those who are looking for feedback and direction.
This course is intended for poets who are growingly confident in their writing, and want to hone their craft as they send poems out and gather their manuscripts.
