Summer Classes

Very Superstitious (8 weeks, August 15 - October 3) Wet.Ink/Online *Offered through the Writer's Center. They've opened registration early!  FULL - Please email me directly if you'd like to be added to a waiting list. The Writer's Center does not offer a wait list, so I'd have to make arrangements with them to add you if a spot opens up.

​

In this class we’ll write lucky charms, invent horoscope poems, divine lines from oracle card readings, and take inspiration from everyday magic. Each week we’ll read 1-2 source texts paired with a brief example text from the folklore focus for the week. From these readings, we’ll write new poems born out of a prompt linked to that week’s topic. Every week will also include optional viewing/listening assignments to provide multiple entry points into inspiration.

• Natural Wonder: Poet as Scientist (part 2) (8 wk, Wet.Ink) $320

Wednesday, October 26 - Tuesday, December 20, 2022) *Registration open!

​

​In this class, we'll continue to consider the necessity of wonder and close observation to the poet and the scientist alike through an entirely different set of fields and materials than in Part 1. We'll read and write poems of winged creatures and water dwellers, underwater volcanoes and melting glaciers. We’ll consider the many ways to explore and expand our metaphors through a different scientific field each week, all the while marveling at the intricacy and interconnectedness of life on our planet. *Parts 1 & 2 of this class offering are independent and may be taken out of order.
