About the Offering
Everyone is terrified of the blank page. Perhaps we are even more scared of it now during the pandemic. What is there left to say? What is even worthy of a poem or my time or my focus? The idea of writing is often harder than the writing itself. In this 4-week course, we’ll focus on prompts and exercises that get us generating new poems out of nothing. Starting small and moving outward. This class won’t focus on critiques! I want this to be based on simply re-starting our engines and giving ourselves permission to write through unprecedented times.
Materials Needed
No specific materials needed for this offering.
