About
This four-week generative and analytic course will guide you in writing poems inspired by mythology and lore. You’ll learn how traditional narratives can intertwine with your own obsessions and emotional landscape. By examining contemporary texts and experimenting with prompts, you'll build an understanding of how the places and people in your poetry can alter traditional mythologies and create their own internal world.
Week 1: Tradition and Lore
Week 2: Wonder and Obsessions
Week 3: On Lament
Week 4: The New Myth
We'll create a safe, exploratory, and constructive environment with space for discussion, writing, and guidance for bolstering your own writing practices. Some readings will be assigned.
