Ideal for poets who wants to explore a topic over a series of poems. This class works best for poets who have already completed/drafted a few poems for a larger sequence. Through discussion, fun small group work, and student workshops, instructor Melanie Figg will teach students how to order a series, tell a story over a series of poems, and build a narrative that spans 4-7 poems. Students will share their work with each other and provide feedback; instructor will provide substantial feedback.

Honoring William Stafford's dictum: "Writer's block? Lower your standards!", in this workshop we'll put together a toolbox of exercises and strategies for jumping into the poem's first draft without hesitancy or over-thinking. Revising these drafts toward finished poems to be shared in workshop will open up discussion on matters of craft and the often mysterious and unpredictable ways that language itself works to lead the making of the poem forward.
