SUMMARY:Reading Poems to Write Poems
DESCRIPTION:Study and analyze great poets and poems to discover new ways to write great poems.\nThis is a reader’s workshop\, focusing on close readings of poems by two great American poets\, Stanley Plumly and Natasha Trethewey\, in order more deeply to enjoy their poems and to derive specific strategies and prompts for our own work. This focused two-hour gathering will be in two parts\, with David Baker examining Plumly’s work and Christopher Kondrich plumbing Trethewey’s. We’ll dive-deep into specific poems\, identify each poet’s signature tactics\, and talk about the class’s own practices. We hope to have some time for in-class writing\, and we hope you take away specific\, engaging new methods for your next poems. There’s no prior preparation necessary\, though familiarity with the two poets would be useful; we’ll have handouts for class and if you have Plumly’s Collected Poems and Tretheway’s Native Guard\, it would be helpful to bring with you.
