In this workshop, in addition to examining classmates' work, we will focus on expanding knowledge of technical aspects of the craft of poetry, innovations and blurring of genres, and writing poetry as a practice in the world. Discussion and revision will figure prominently, as will deep engagement with contemporary poetry through in-class discussion and generative exercises based on the work we read. Representative authors: Carl Phillips, Sun Yung Shin, Wanda Coleman, Jennif(f)er Tamayo, Tommy Pico, Alicia Mountain, Kate Durbin and others.
