Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This is a seminar in learning how to find the shape of a poem and to write poetry. We'll read contemporary American poems as well as poems from around the world. We'll talk about our lives and what we read and experience. We'll try to use language more precisely and evocatively, begin with the image and detail, then move to what we've always wanted to say but haven't. Every week we'll discuss the poems we write and use our discussion of poetry (& its joy) to heal some of our wounds and difficulties. A Seminar in the creative act, what it means to be a poet, and the fulfillment of art. 1.00 units, Seminar
