ABOUT THIS CLASS

This class is an “abreboca,” an appetizer that offers an overview of the “weird” world of speculative poetry. We will talk about what speculative poetry is, read some examples, talk about common themes and categories, and generate new work. Come ready to immerse yourself in the world of beasts, dragons, and things that might or might not exist.

ABOUT THE SERIES

Sliding scale/affordably priced poetry class!

The Poetry Lab is a community learning space dedicated to mentoring and encouraging poets and writers as they craft their learning journeys. We started in a co-work space in Downtown Long Beach in 2013. Meeting twice a month, our Labs covered topics like Diction, Tone, and Voice, Poetry of Twitter, Power of Revision, and Blind Date with a Book. In other words, these workshops were fun and instructional, often taking non-traditional approaches to poetry.

The BrainTrust series carries on this tradition in one virtual session per month. As always, everyone is welcome here. That means first-time poets, moms and dads, high school students, architects, professors, gamers, and artists of all genres and mediums are welcome to attend as long as they are ready to write!
