What is happening when you begin to write a poem? What does it mean to be called to speech, to break into song? Why this, why now? How does the occasion of a poem lead you to write a poem in a certain way, and what avenues do you take to pursue or avoid this call? In this brief workshop, we will discuss a few poems that explore these questions, including poems by W.S. Merwin, C.D. Wright and Etheridge Knight. These discussions will lead us to write two new poems that investigate your calling. Each student will receive an email after the class is over, discussing their strengths and offering some individualized assignments for moving forward.
