LIVE via ZOOM: 7pm-9pm

This poetry workshop will consist of reading and writing elegies. How does poetry equip us to talk to and about grief? How does the grieving process itself resemble the process of writing a poem? Through assigned readings, generative exercises, and craft lectures, the course will take on such issues as the myths surrounding grief, the realities of grief, delayed or disenfranchised grief, and transforming loss into literature.
