Interested in mythology and folktales? In this generative workshop we’ll take a close look at how oral legends can make their way into contemporary poems in profound and exciting ways. Drawing on poets such as H.D., Sherwin Bitsui, Linda Gregg, Jack Gilbert, Alicia Ostriker, Lucille Clifton, Ted Hughes and others, we will use multiple writing prompts as a way of exposing you to international myths, new modes of image-making and figurative language. Students will each receive an email at the end of the class, outlining strengths in your work and offering ideas for moving forward.
