It's hard to break the mold without first understanding its shape. In this 3-week workshop, students will learn about both classic and contemporary forms of poetry, from the sonnet to the duplex. Open to poets of all experience levels, this class will explore the limits and opportunities of poetic forms through early and modern examples, generative writing exercises, and peer sharing.
Class dates: 11/12, 11/19, 11/26
Instructor: Alison Lubar teaches high school English by day and yoga by night. They are a queer, nonbinary, mixed-race femme whose life work has evolved into bringing mindfulness practices to young people. Their poetry collection, The Other Tree, was the recipient of Harbor Editions’ 2024 Laureate Prize. They’re the author of four chapbooks: Philosophers Know Nothing About Love (Thirty West, 2022), queer feast (Bottlecap Press, 2022), sweet euphemism (CLASH!, 2023), and It Skips a Generation (Stanchion, 2023), as well as one full-length, METAMOURPHOSIS (fifth wheel press, 2024).
