Hybrid Thinking: A Poetry Workshop
Winter 2023
Class Details
This course takes “hybrid” poetic works–twinned performance poems, prose poems, lyric essays, photos with poems as captions, poems written with two languages, truisms from visual art, films that thread together with poetry–as a point of departure for a poetry workshop. This is an intensive generative poetry workshop for writers of all levels intended to introduce the art of writing poetry and the skills needed for a regular writing practice. Participants will take inspiration from the likes of American writers and artists such as Kazim Ali, Duane Michals, Marlon T. Riggs, and Jenny Holzer for weekly writing exercises and workshops. The class will culminate in a final portfolio of one’s work for the month.
