A Poem a Week

(for a new challenge)

$100   5 weeks / 90 min each week     

Min 4  / Max 10

___________________

 Join this five-week Poem-a-Week experience of reading, reflecting,creating, learning, and sharing.   We follow a structure of Absorb-Reflect-Create:  each week we dive into one poem and branch off from it with reflective exercises meant to inspire us and connect us with texts, each other, and ourselves. Then we spend a good portion of the class creating in whatever ways feel right for each of us during each class.

This is not a course about how to analyze poetry.  

It is about how poetry can support us, be meaningful to us 

in our daily lives, and fuel our own creative processes.

The Why, the Wonder, and the Wish 

(scary? safe!)

$120     6 weeks  / 120 min each week         

Min 5  / Max 8

___________________

What is the purpose of your poem? 

What do you wonder about your draft?

What do you wish for its future?

We will alternate weeks between revision strategies and 

generative work.  For the first class, please bring a draft poem 

that you would like to share and work on developing.

Do you know you have a lot of ideas kicking around inside

 your heart and mind but haven't gotten them on paper yet?  

Do you want to try new ways to kickstart your creative process?

I will facilitate exercises each week to help you get words on the page, generate new images and sounds, and (re)gain connection with your creativity.
