CRW 4320 Spring 2023 Hamby

How do you make your poetic voice like no other person’s? This workshop will dive into various topics with essays and poems to help you break out of habits that are keeping you from interstellar poetic adventure. The first half of the class will be a craft discussion. The next two hours will be a workshop in which we discuss your poems. Craft topics will include mythology, fairytales, stand-up comedy, religious texts, instruction manuals, self-portraits, laments, and ekphrasis (writing on art). We will publish a class magazine. There will be a class on publishing your poems. Also, we’ll have two one-on-one conferences.
