DEVELOPING YOUR POETIC VISION This workshop welcomes both beginning and experienced poets on an exploration of different poetic voices and forms of expression. We will examine a variety of poems – traditional, modern, contemporary, international – and discuss how form relates to ideas, emotions, and points of view. We will devote part of each class to reading and commenting constructively on each other’s work; and focus on reading styles and performance. All students will be encouraged to submit poems for publication in the CTAS literary magazine, The Tookany Review. Please bring $3 for duplicating fees and one of your own poems to the first class.

Need help? Forty-five thank you notes to go? Does that unwritten condolence card you meant to send still nag at you, because you can’t find the words? Maybe you hate to pay Hallmark when you can do it yourself. C’mon, we’ll workshop these chores together. You’ll have fun while learning tips to overcome writer’s block, making writing notes easier and more pleasant. Best of all, your snail mail notes will have meaningful impact. (*Translation promised.)
