What's the wildest thing you did with your writing? What's the strangest poem you've ever written? Discover innovative poetry in my live online course.
This course is for people who are new to poetry, or people interested in writing poetry who want to branch out into experimental forms. The course will present various forms of innovative writing and help you create art you never thought possible. With a 30% lecture / 70% workshop structure there will be plenty to learn with your knowledgeable teacher but also plenty of pure writing fun! By the end of the course, you will have created a mini-portfolio of five innovative poems.
The course structure will be as follows:
Class 1 – found text, collage poetry and erasure poetry
Class 2 – compact poetry
Class 3 – interactive poetry
Class 4 – poetic shapes and objects
Come, learn, write, and let your mind be blown!
No previous knowledge is necessary – the class is suitable for beginners. All you need is an interest in writing!
I will e-mail you a list of requirements before the class – you will mostly just need a pen and paper.
This class series runs over four consecutive sessions, at the same time every week.
