WRI 375 - Writing Poetry:Wild Form

Institution:

Naropa University

Subject:

Description:

Jack Kerouac coined the term "wild form" to refer to poems that emerge from spontaneous, unbridled states of mind. This course extends the implications by examining poetry's relationship to archaic or primitive thought, and to the self-regulating ecosystems of wild nature. We write poetry weekly, exploring perception, intuition, clear vocabulary, and forms free of pre-set assumptions. We examine ancient poetries as well as the vocabulary of modern poetics, in order to enrich each other's poem
