About the Offering
You’ll begin the week with one poem and end with five new poems, each derived from the original, which will serve as the source, or seed bed, for these radical revisions, each now a distinct poem. Through exercises and a shared ideas from our group, your source poem will serve as a wellspring for new aesthetic and philosophical approaches. Each day, we’ll shift our gaze and look anew at our poem and its myriad possibilities. This is a chance to stretch yourself creatively in a supportive environment, as well as create a family of poems that may be surprisingly cohesive. From one poem can come many possibilities, as we’ll discover. The instructor will provide feedback every day, along with a personalized letter to each participant at week’s end.
