According to Chandra, This course will help us understand how each of us can transform images, ideas and emotions into words that truly communicate in our writing.
We will focus on the craft of poetry and of language.
We’ll learn why editing and workshopping is so important.
We’ll explore personal mythologies, the worlds of publishing, performativity and whatever else seems interesting.
The course will include lots of reading, discussion, writing and feedback.
We’ll play, take risks and create a community of writers.
We won’t always agree, but we’ll understand more about what we write, why we write, and how to get closer to the poems we want to write.
