The Art & Craft of Poetry Seminar & Workshop with Michael Patrick Collins


NYU professor and poet, Michael Patrick Collins will lead two back to back craft classes (part workshop, part seminar) focusing on all elements of craft. The goal of this class will be to introduce each member to both the enjoyment of creating their own poems and the fundamental elements of poetry that go into doing so, including metaphor, imagery, line break strategies, sentence structures, tone, and the relationship between form and content. To achieve these goals, we will discuss model poems, engage in generative writing and guided exercises to aid in moving poems through the creative process, and share work in constructive workshops.
