Writing Workshops LA: Mixed Levels Poetry

Mixed Levels Poetry (taught by Kim Young in Eagle Rock)

Wednesdays, 7:30 to 9:30 pm
July 20, 2016 to September 7, 2016

Through original creative work, revision, reading, and discussion, this eight-week workshop will focus on making poems that are driven by a keen attention to language, image, and sound. Our task will be engaging with each other’s work and the weekly readings in order to explore the ways poetry can recover more complex imaginative and perceptive possibilities. As poet Mark Doty wisely asserts: “Our metaphors go on ahead of us, they know before we do.” We will be putting Doty’s assertion to the test with writing exercises that lead us into surprising and unexpected creative spaces.

This course is open to students at all levels and will take place in Eagle Rock, where wine and sparkling water and small snacks will be served.

Enrollment limit: 8 students
$390 for new students; $350 for returning students. (Payment plans available to returning students.)
