What the %^&* Did I Just Say? Tackling, the Bold, the Bad, and the Ugly in Poems


Thursdays, Jan. 27th-March 17th

6pm-8:30pm CST

Throughout this eight-week generative course, we’ll investigate how we can project our unflinching humanity onto the page while remaining likable and approachable. Is there a way we can ethically invoke shock, discomfort, AND compassion toward ourselves, our subjects, and our readers? Find out and register here.

A good part of class will then be devoted to creating our own ethical “mean-person” on the page through a series of optional, guided writing prompts. You’ll also explore free-verse and lesser-known poetic forms and themes, including curses, apologies, and Eastern forms, including the list and senryu.
