Virtual. Write a new poem every week and connect to language and experience in unexpected ways. Through playful exercises, drawing on memory, dream, art, and objects, you will link to the vital, unconscious sources of your writing. Experiments with elements of craft, such as line, image and rhythm, will build your understanding of form. The class includes a one-hour private conference with the instructor. Beginners and experienced writers are welcome.

Please note that class size limited to 10 students.
