Girl Talk: Conversations on Women Poets
Dates: October 7-November 3
Format: Online Workshop (asynchronous, more info)
No coterie of artists could be more multifaceted, more contradictory, or more inspiring than women poets. In this four-week workshop, teaching artists Maureen Alsop and Joshua Davis will share reflections, reveries, impressions sparked by women poets. These funny, fiery dialogues will zigzag among questions of language, quandaries of craft, as well as glimmers of biography, and each week's prompts will emerge from these conflabs. Likely luminaries include Jean Valentine, Lorine Neidecker, Gwendolyn Brooks, Marilyn Chin, and glitzy guest stars. Maureen and Josh will swap who leads each week, but participants may expect lively observations from both teaching artists. Join us for the racket, the gossip, the brewed-up trouble.
Payment Options
Early Bird: $275 (through September 16)
Regular: $295 (while seats last)
Pay It Forward: $325 (while seats last)
Note: The Pay-It-Forward price is an opportunity to take this class and support your fellow poets while you're at it. The extra monies support scholarships as well as future free and low-cost classes.
