Course Theme:
Make It New. ‘The artist is always beginning,’ Ezra Pound once wrote. ‘Any work of art which is not a beginning, an invention or a discovery is of little worth.’ In this workshop we will discuss the elements of surprise and experiment in poetry and focus on the creation of new work and the revision of work-in-progress through the use of writing exercises and responses to readings.
