Dive deep into the realm of images to discover new possibilities for your poetry and prose. In this workshop, we'll tap into memory, imagination, description, observation, and discovery, through a number of playful, strange, and thought-provoking writing activities. These exercises will inspire new work and offer fresh ways of looking at your works in progress, in the style and genre of your choosing.

  • Class time will be spent reading and discussing a variety of texts, with an emphasis on workshop discussion of our own work and writing by other people. We will aim to make time for a writing exercise each week, but students who wish to complete finished work should expect to continue writing outside of class time.

    This class does not meet on 7/4.

    Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
