This course will cover a variety of compositional strategies that you can turn to whenever you aren’t sure what to write about. You’ll often be able to use them to create a draft of a poem in an hour or less. It includes:
- Access to a private forum where you can post what you write (if you choose), or discuss poetic process with others.
- A weekly Zoom meeting where you can ask questions and interact with others in real time. Calls will take place at 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM Eastern on January 3, January 11, January 17, and January 25 (alternating Saturdays and Sundays). It will be an “office hours” or Q&A format, so you’re welcome to come late or leave early. A recording will be provided for those who can’t make it.
- Detailed private critiques from the instructor of two poems (each critique will be a minimum of 500 words), sent privately to your email.
The course will start January 3, 2026. Registration open until January 9.
