Poetry Writing with Catherine Barnett
Sorry!
No performances are currently available.
This poetry workshop will take as its core concerns both improvisation and revision.
These two practices are, of course, at the heart of the creative act, and students in this class will study and practice both. As they write their own poems, students will also read the poems and drafts of published poets to learn how initial inspiration turns (and re-turns) into final poems. Students will practice various strategies of revision with the hope of turning revision into an act as creative as the initial generating impulse: an act of discovery, invention, intention, and chance that can accommodate failure, mistake and accident. Students will be given weekly writing assignments and will be asked to keep a writer’s notebook.
5 Sessions: $395
