A 5-Week Generative Poetry Workshop
THURSDAYS, MARCH 3 TO MARCH 31
Level: All Levels
Instructor: Jefferson Navicky
Could your poetry use a fresh step, a new swing, a surprising pop? This workshop is designed for those who may be feeling stuck, stale, or uninspired and who wish to revitalize their writing practice. Whether you would like to experiment with new forms, start a project, finally finish a stalled one, or generally shake things up a bit, this workshop is for you. We will be drawing inspiration from poets such as Diane Seuss, Wanda Coleman, Mei-Mei Bersenbrugge, Bernadette Mayer, Kate Barnes and Robert Walser. Through generative exercises such as poetic divination, lateral translations and mixed-media prompts, and workshopping, we will co-create a space that encourages playfulness, experimentation, and risk-taking in the service of moving ourselves and our work forward into new realms. Prepare to be challenged, surprised, and reinvigorated for a new season of writing poetry!
