Generative Writing Circle: Poetry

The focus of this course is to produce new material, while workshopping and perfecting previously written work.

The first 30-minute section of each class session will be spent writing to a prompt. During these prompts, participants can expect to experiment with form, writing techniques, and different poetic devices. The next 15 -20 minutes of each session will be spent sharing, followed by a short break. Afterwards, participants will present one previously written poem, either from an in-class prompt or a piece written outside the course. We will then as a class provide constructive feedback on the piece, evaluating everything from meter and line breaks to overall message and direction.

Participants can expect to learn tools for self-editing, refinement and revision and enhance their own craft while helping others. They should complete the course having completed six new pieces and six edited pieces.
