Abstract
Finding voice, expression, form. We will write poems through imitation/combat with canonical poems used as models. We will experiment with metaphor and imagery, song-patterns, reflection, story-telling (and its detours) in poems. We will learn the art and politics of formal verse, and how to find alternative ways of making sense(s) through the use of diverse sources and combinations. Classes will be in English and writing can be in English and / or Portuguese.
