Instructor: Daniel Kuriakose
Tentative Dates: June 13-Aug 8
Saturdays, 1:30pm-4pm
Capacity: 15
Thinking of poems in relation to one another can open new resonances in a collection. How do
good poets manage this? How can a poetic work be changed when placed in proximity to another? How does a collection build momentum, energy, significance, over the course of several pages and several poems? What kind of rhythms develop on this scale, and how do we manage them? Let’s Figure this out together.
The goal of this 10-week workshop is to produce a chapbook of poems (about 15-25 pages in length). Over the course of the first few weeks, students will engage with book-length poetic texts, and receive attentive, rigorous workshopping of their individual poems. The second half of the course will consist of freer study, with students exploring their own curiosities under the guidance of the instructor, collating their work into chapbooks as the class opens up into a full manuscript workshop.
