In this Poetry Workshop and Readshop students will read a number of contemporary poems, work on writing and revising their own poetry, explore and discuss essays by renowned poets on the “what” and “how” of poetry, (image, metaphor, sound, rhythm) so that they might become more comfortable with the reading and writing of poetry. Play, the language and the imagination will be stressed. Students will be encouraged to be “creators” with language rather than “transcribers” so that their poems surprise and inform themselves as well as their readers. This class is geared to those who have not written much poetry, or are now eager to return to writing poetry after some time away from writing.
How can the art of photography help us explore image making and ‘imag’ination in poetry? In this workshop we will explore imagery beyond visual reproduction. How can we create stronger images in our work? What elements of art making are shared between poetry and photography? Bring a photograph to the workshop that you’d like to write to, or choose one that inspires you from photographs the instructor will bring. 
This is a class / workshop for those who have either taken a poetry class, or have some experience writing poems and sharing them with friends or at an open mic, and now want to deepen their practice. Students will read one another’s poems, and workshop them in a supportive atmosphere under the guidance of an experienced teacher, helping to enable them to venture forward with their art. Also a suitable workshop for more advanced students.
