The Poetry Society of New York

source? - late summer poetry intensive

Source is a six-week course that will focus on poetry that comes from something — ekphrasis, re-tellings, erasure, golden shovels, centos. Each week will focus on a different approach to the referential and signified, and how assumed or given knowledge can birth pieces that offer new insight, meaning, and perspective.

This generative workshop will be geared towards poets of any level, especially those curious about being introduced to a breadth of forms/approaches. Each week will begin with discussion of a reading and a generative prompt, followed by a workshop. Poets are encouraged to submit pieces that play with one of the kinds of poetry listed in the course, with the intention of each poet gaining not only new insights into their work but also their chosen form.
