Poetry and Obsession
$340
Where can obsession lead us? How can it shape our poetry in new ways? This online poetry class will focus on the idea of obsession as a driving force for writing poetry – what you, as a poet, are interested in in terms of subject, style, forms, and even research or archival work. We will explore obsession as a poetic concept, and read example poems/poets and interrogate how obsession can be a catalyst for generating writing.
Students will develop personal poetic philosophies through guided writing and in the later part of the course, generate new work engaging with a personal obsession.
