Study how creative journeys result in poems — through your own drafts as well as those of the instructor.
This limited enrollment two-part class will map the evolution of jottings into poems, watching Molly Peacock write as you write. As online visual art classes demonstrate by drawing, Peacock will show, in real (and replicated) time, how All-over-the-place notes can coalesce into poems. Each class will model the back-and-forth of intuition with technique decisions. This is an online studio-workshop, with time to write in class. Join us as we arrive at Someplace.
Class 1: Inheritance. Class 2: Personal Objects. Class 3: Love and Memory. Class 4: Participant Draft Showcase.
Class meets online from 2-5 pm on Sundays: March 23 and 30; April 27 and May 4
