Course Description
This course invites you to explore strategies for weaving writing into your daily life. Through prompts and exercises, you’ll transform the language and experiences of your everyday world—whether from work, school, family, or beyond—into material for the page. Together, we’ll read and learn from poets who excel at this practice, experiment with our own writing, and exchange supportive feedback on poems created in class. While many of our exercises will focus on poetry, writers of all backgrounds and genres are welcome.
While many writing exercises will be poetry, writers of all genres and interests are welcome!
