About the Offering
In this intensive course, students will explore several nuanced approaches to this ancient alphabetical form of poetry. By combining current events and difficult subject matter with a rigid adherence to the alphabet as our organizing principle, we’ll discover new ways of accessing subtext in our drafts and develop a plan for further development once our course is over.
Materials Needed
No specific materials needed for this offering.
