Poetry Workshop: Experimental Poetry

Catalog description

In this course, we investigate work that transgresses, crosses borders, swerves. We examine texts that challenge our understanding of poetry and the writing process. Through a series of experiments and cross-genre collaborations, we complicate language, develop new forms, and carve out original spaces. To innovate is to be in conversation with an interrogative dynamic that opens to possibility and failure. Writing as experiment as exploration as the new word. Open to MFA Creative Writing & Poetics students only.
