What makes Tony Hoagland, Jane Kenyon, Charles Wright, Dorianne Laux, Mark Doty and Elizabeth Bishop sound like no other poets? Although imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, this course will balance imitating craft with maintaining one’s own unique take on work, family, love, loss and transcendence. In each session, the instructor will lead a discussion on the works of a master poet and examine craft choices that you can use to make your own memorable poem.
Before the next class, you will be asked to write a new poem (or a substantial revision of an existing poem) that incorporates an aspect of that poet’s voice and form. The new/revised poems will be critiqued in the following class, after which a new master poet will be introduced.
