ABOUT THIS CLASS

In this course, we’ll start from the basics, exploring the origins of the contrapuntal form with poems by Tyehimba Jess and Tarfia Faizullah. Throughout these two hours of active discussion and exercises, we’ll learn simple techniques for crafting poems that weave together different narratives, blending, rerouting, tuning, and compounding voices and rhythms in our own multi-layered poems.

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!
