Section Description:The aim of this workshop is to foster your growth as a poet by encouraging you to expand the range of possibilities for the way your poems might be made, what they might say, and how they might mean. We will pay particular attention to the specific ambition of each poem and how that ambition can be discerned during the writing process through active listening. The emphasis will be on process over product following the maxim, "the most important poem is the one you are about to write". Students will be encouraged to explore techniques that expand their range and help them bring the world into their poems. Discussions will be informed by readings of modern/contemporary poetry and by an ongoing dialogue about image, line and gesture.
