8-Week: 20th Century Poetry Schools Survey

20th Century Poetry Schools Survey is an eight week "craft lessons from" class that examines, in-depth, a variety of schools of poetry, giving historical context to poets and their work. In this class, we'll survey various schools within 20th century poetry. Our aim is to help poets learn about the schools of writing that shaped contemporary poetry and to identify their own poetic lineages. The instructor will provide a reader, and each week we'll practice writing in the style of a different “school.” Get ready to write as an imagist, a surrealist, a confessional poet, a New York school poet, a LANGUAGE poet, and more.
