Like our
contemporary world, some poems are best understood as complexities. They lean
toward the unwieldy, unable to contain themselves in a brief, simple, linear
fashion. That's when it's time to break the poem open to see where it might go.
This seminar will look at strategies for moving a poem draft from the
simple to the complex—from the linear to the braided, the multi-faceted.
We'll be looking for a variety of ways to deepen a poem that
is better-served by the complications of collage, associative
leaps, research, as well as other approaches that can enlarge and enliven
the poem. And the ironic thing is this: to complicate a poem is simple. If
you already have an in-progress poem you'd like to deepen in this way, please bring
a draft or any notes/research. The seminar
includes a class packet with suggested writing activities, pertinent quotes,
and resources for participants to take home and turn to later for
further investigation of the topic.
