Class Description
This workshop is for advanced poets who want to develop new content and deepen their craft. We’ll explore the building blocks of poetry: words, lines, stanzas, rhythm and rhyme, as they manifest in our own work and that of accomplished mentor poets. We’ll write and revise ten poems and discuss making work public via readings, online and print submissions, and chapbooks. Poets whose works we explore may include Claudia Rankine, Brandon Som, Kay Ryan, Ross Gay, Elizabeth Bishop, Reginald Dwayne Betts, Lucia Perillo, David Ferry, and Robin Coste Lewis.
This class is by submission only and previous workshop experience is essential. Space is limited to nine poets.
Important dates:
The Master Poetry application is now closed. Applications submitted after January 2nd will not be reviewed.
The payment deadline for admitted students is January 6th.
