SUMMARY:Finish Your Poetry Book
DESCRIPTION:Whether you have just started your manuscript\, or have made significant progress\, this course will help you get over the finish line. We’ll learn how to structure the book in a way that adds layers of meaning to the poems within\, generate new work to fill in the structure\, and hone poems until they are book-ready. To finish\, students will revise the book as a whole and make a publication plan.

SUMMARY:Writing Poetry From Where You Live
DESCRIPTION:Go beyond nature and love poetry to explore how you live and work in the suburb/city. Participants each week can expect to learn about basic poetry elements\, such as line\, image\, point of view\, and rhythm/music\, as well as workshop poems each class as a group. Students will also learn how the themes of suburb/city can be used to create poetry that has relevance and purpose for readers and editors. By the end of the class\, participants will learn how to go beyond their normal subjects for poems\, as well as revise at least one poem.

SUMMARY:Reading like a Writer: Imitation as Generative Writing
DESCRIPTION:We all read for pleasure\, but a writer also reads to learn. It feeds a writer’s writing practice. In this generative workshop\, each week we will become familiar with the work of an established poet as a means to examine elements of craft and draft their own poems. This course also includes an optional workshopping element to receive feedback from your peers and the instructor.

SUMMARY:Whole-Brain Poetry
DESCRIPTION:“Whole-Brain Poetry” is an opportunity to explore some of the many ways poetry interacts with the brain\, and to enrich your writing with that knowledge. This includes but goes beyond the use of metaphor. Through writing exercises\, close examination of time-honored and recent poems\, workshopping of participant poems\, and brief reading assignments\, we will examine the neurology and psychology of poetry\, the relationship between time and memory\, how science has influenced well-known poets\, how poetry can help to heal trauma and prevent PTSD\, and more.

SUMMARY:How to End a Poem
DESCRIPTION:There is no “right” or “wrong” when it comes to deciding how a poem should end. But there are some options that might be more effective than others. This workshop will focus on closure—the strategies that poets have traditionally used to bring their poems to a clear\, resonant conclusion. We will also discuss anti-closure—the resistance that so many feel toward poems that “click shut.” By looking at the work of several contemporary poets\, we will discuss what worked best for their poems and might help yours.
