Meeting will take place in the Poetry Center's Alumni Room, Room 205; limit 12 students. General registration will open on Tuesday, August 13th at 10:00AM.
What happens to our minds when we commit to a daily practice of writing? How do we change when writing poetry becomes a habit as opposed to a periodic creative occasion? How do we prioritize our own inner life and its relationship to language in a world that does not necessarily value introspection and quiet creativity? In this generative workshop, we will look at and conduct a series of exercises and poetic practices designed to fold poetry into the lived life. Part pep talk, part how-to manual, this class will demystify the ways in which one creates a life in poetry and makes room for poetry in a life.
