From historical archives to our grandparents' attics, language is all around us. In this generative 9-week class, we will write and workshop poems that incorporate the found materials of our everyday lives. Through writing prompts, out-of-class exercises, and readings from poets including Aracelis Girmay, James Schuyler, francine j. Harris, Linda Gregg, and Taylor Johnson we will look, listen, eavesdrop, and engage with archival materials in order to jostle our poetic imaginations and expand our understandings of what might live in a poem.
Class dates: 9/30, 10/7, 10/21, 10/28, 11/4, 11/18, 11/25, 12/2, 12/9
