MEG DAY | WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT: POEMS FOR VALENTINE’S DAY
FEBRUARY 8-12 | POETRY
What is more deeply entangled in the genealogy of the poem than love? Subjectivity, emotion, and sentimentality
have often given poetry a bad name; but poets have long been driven to the page by passion with striking results,
In this one-week intensive workshop, you will write poems that respond to love via free verse and form, and you
will use love as a lens through which to read a diversity of poets whose work might not have ever fallen under the
category before.
SARA ELIZA JOHNSON | MAD SCIENCE
FEBRUARY 15-19 | POETRY
In this class, you will look to scientific endeavors and discoveries for inspiration, considering
the potential yields of the creative relationship between science and poetry. Through a series of exercises, you
will write poems that respond to the findings of contemporary science. The subject matter, form, and figurative
language in your poems will all be shaped and energized by this course’s focus.
REBECCA GAYLE HOWELL | THE NO PO-BIZ PO-BIZ:
HOW TO FINISH YOUR POEMS FOR PUBLICATION
FEBRUARY 15-19 | POETRY
The submission process is a communication, a conversation between you and your future editors. In this
workshop you will explore how to cultivate that conversation meaningfully. Through intensive and diverse studies
of syntax, lineation, punctuation, diction, and style, you will learn how to drive your poems into a shareable space
without losing their originality.
ELIZABETH BRADFIELD | BEASTLY: ANIMALS AS POETIC SOURCE AND SUBJECT FOR POEMS
FEBRUARY 22-26 | POETRY
In this intensive workshop, you will learn to incorporate your experiences with animals into your poems in ways
that are full, accurate and surprising. You will study how others have written animals, focusing on making facts
sing and describing your moving experiences with animals by nudging up to sentimentality without entering it.
MICHAEL WHITE | GAZING IN GAZING OUT
FEBRUARY 22-26 | POETRY
In this new one-week intensive workshop designed for intermediate to advanced poets, you will explore
fundamentally new approaches to subject manner while writing new poems and revising old ones. The class
will also explore the intersection of the public and the private in poetry, and students will be encouraged to
engage in an animated dialogue about the topic.
ETHAN GILSDORF | ABSENT FATHERS, CONTROLLING MOTHERS, TREACHEROUS
EXES AND OTHER INTERPERSONAL DYSFUNCTION: WRITING THE PUBLISHABLE
RELATIONSHIP ESSAY
FEBRUARY 29 - MARCH 4 | NONFICTION
Romantic love. Marriage. Heartbreak. Family. Friendship. Conflict. Loss. Pain. Death. Yes! In this essay class, you
will learn how to write a short personal essay about a significant and complex relationship in your life – an essay
that hopefully will see the light of day published in a magazine, newspaper, literary journal or website. Via daily
exercises, you will learn the building blocks for writing these relationship essay and acquire a toolbox of craft tools.
COREY VAN LANDINGHAM | DOCUMENTARY POETRY
FEBRUARY 29 - MARCH 4 | POETRY
In this new poetry workshop, you will consider what liberties writers take when recreating, representing, and
exposing experience, especially the experiences of others. Topics of interest will include reportage, historical
narratives, interviews, poetic license, subjectivity, genre, and form. You will learn how to look at your work in
new ways and write poems engaged in the social realm.
