Who’s this journey for?
This journey is for those who have some foundational knowledge of poetry writing. Not sure? We recommend Poetry 1: Find your voice
Overview
This course is designed to strengthen foundations in poetry, especially for participants who have some prior introduction to poetry. The cohort will provide a safe space and supportive environment to help students strengthen their poetic voice. Each week, students will independently complete daily writing assignments along with attending 45 minute class sessions each of the 4 weeks. Each week will focus on a theme for students to write outside of class. Poetry prompts and poems will be provided to make daily practices engaging.
Week 1: Shouting It Out
Why do we write poems?
From Part One’s journey, we focused on figuring out what defines poetry. For Part Two, we will shift our discussion more on why we write poems and why it’s important to “shout it out.”
Week 2: Humor
Why do some individuals consider writing humorous poems as “not real poems”?
How effective can humor be in terms of tone?
What helps bring humor and comedy in writing?
Week 3: Love
How do we go beyond the “commercialization” of love poems?
In what ways can we show the theme of love in a poem?
Week 4: Performance
How do we balance “performative” aspects of poetry vs. “writing” aspects of poetry
