Poetry: Write What You Don’t Know… FULLY BOOKED – email for waiting list

How poems have minds of their own and what we can do to discover their secrets. In this course, we’ll be exploring how we as poets can best serve the poems we write. It’s all-too easy to think we know what we want to say – but what if the poem has other ideas? In writing workshops, we’ll focus on trusting our poems and on learning how to be comfortable with the uncertainty that a new poem brings.
