A Poetry Craft Class for Writers Who Identify as Women, Free! Registration required.
Read a Poem, Write a Poem: Emulation as Touchstone for a Life Without Writer's Block
Taught by Julie Marie Wade
Every poem we encounter extends to us many invitations for writing under its stylistic influence or in conversation with its subject matter. In this craft-centered workshop, we'll consider several contemporary poems from various poetic schools, then write in response to one or more of these poems with an opportunity to share. Participants of every experience level will leave the workshop with strategies and resources to start, support, or expand their current poetry-making practice.
Julie Marie Wade is the author of 13 collections of poetry, prose, and hybrid forms, most recently Just an Ordinary Woman Breathing and Skirted: Poems. With Denise Duhamel, she authored The Unrhymables: Collaborations in Prose, and with Brenda Miller, Telephone: Essays in Two Voices. A winner of the Marie Alexander Poetry Series and the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Memoir, Julie teaches in the creative writing program at Florida International University and makes her home with Angie Griffin and their two cats in Dania Beach.
