Poetry Mixtape

About this event
In this 8 week, Wednesday morning class, we will read, explore and discuss the sequential poem in contemporary American poetry, from poets such as Lucille Clifton and Robert Hass to Sherwin Bitsui and Nam Le, and many more besides. What makes a sequential poem work? How does a constellation of poems react to and inform each other? What can be included in a poem? What are the boundaries of a sequence? We’ll address questions such as these, and others, as we dive into this unique and exhilarating form. Alongside scintillating conversations about published poetry we will build our own “mixtape” poems through a series of fun and inspiring exercises. Each participant will leave with a deepened and strengthened relationship to poetry as well as two publishable poetic sequences of their own. Access Program We want our writing classes and seminars to be accessible to everyone, regardless of income and background. We understand that our tuition structure can present obstacles for some people. Our Access Program offers writing class and seminar tuitions at a reduced rate. Most writing classes have at least one access spot available. Please apply here for access rate tuition. Contact Susan Moore at susan@literary-arts.org if you have questions.
