Class Description

The ars poetica is a meditation on poetry using the forms and techniques of a poem. In this workshop, we will explore the malleability of the ars poetica through examples that reveal a variety of entry points and approaches to this form. Then, we will write our own ars poetica poems to ground or trace the origins of our individual desires to write poems. Our guiding question: What is it that only a poem can do?
