EC | Poetry Writing Master Class“Poetry is language at its most distilled and most potent.” Rita DovePoets attempt to say the unsayable—an ambition that should never be “all work, no play.” In this lively workshop, a master poet will play Virgil to your Dante, guiding the way to your unique vision and voice. Bring your works-in-progress, or the optional weekly assignment, for encouraging, in-depth feedback. To jumpstart inspiration, each meeting will begin with the discussion of a notable poem, occasionally followed by a fun in-class exercise—all supplemented by examinations into poetic forms (ancient to contemporary), the art of revision, and creative tactics for extracting the hidden gold of your imagination. For all poets, wherever you are on the journey.

EC | The Poetic Pilgrimage: Writing Poetry as Spiritual PracticeSpring’s Theme: Body and SoulAs we rush through our days, the urge to center ourselves in something deep and sustaining intensifies. Writing poetry not only serves this urge but shares many similarities to traditional spiritual paths: focus on presence, deep listening, sincere truth-telling, and the surrender to something beyond ourselves. The body’s wisdom is often diminished in the thought-heavy discourse of our daily lives, but the body lives closer to many things the mind cannot touch. This Spring we will experiment with ways of quieting the thought-machine and accessing the insights of our body so that the soul’s small still voice might be heard. As always, we will practice the Art of Being Surprised by Our Own Poems, and we’ll read and write to our hearts’ content. All experience-levels and styles welcome.
