This class will focus on workshopping poems, in-class writing, and discussion of contemporary poems. Specific exercises will be given to free the imagination, and quiet the inner censor. We will explore formal considerations, stylistic choices, and those moments when the poem catches its own voice. Bring 15 copies of a poem you love (not your own) to the first session, as well as 15 copies of one of your own. No class on June 8.

Have you started a novel--or have a great idea for one--but need some direction and feedback? In this workshop, we'll talk about the building blocks--plot, characters, setting, dialogue, conflict--and how they all fit together to create a solid foundation for page-turning fiction. Sessions will include instruction and writing exercises, with an emphasis on giving and receiving critiques of participants' work. Oh, and it will be fun, too!
