Poets in the World: A Field Guide
Dates: Any
Format: Independent Study (more info)
Zoomed out? Grab your favorite journal and get out into the world—of poetry. In this self-paced workshop you’ll become a poetic field-agent, immersing yourself in the physical world in whatever way you can.
You’ll read poets who draw their inspiration from a deep sense of place (and the people they meet there) including Mark Strand, Ada Limón, Ocean Vuong, Faylita Hicks, and James Baker Hall. Next, you’ll explore their use of craft elements, such as imagery and diction, and then, you’ll write in response to the places you visit during your “fieldwork,” whether that’s the Brooklyn Bridge, a beach at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, or walking down your street to 7-11.
Each module includes a craft lesson, a suggestion for “field work,” sample poems, and both generative and revision based writing prompts.
Shortly after you Add to Cart, you will receive an email containing an invitation to create an account and begin learning. Note: This class does not include feedback or interaction with the instructor or other learners, and is accessible for thirty days. If more time is needed, just contact us.
