SUMMARY:Elegy & Celebration: Writing Poems of Loss
DESCRIPTION:Title: Elegy & Celebration: Writing Poems of Loss\nTime: Sundays, October 2 & 9, 2022 @ 11am-1:30pm PST\nPlatform: Zoom\nTuition: $100\nTo register, email jswilliams1307@gmail.com ( mailto:jswilliams1307@gmail.com ).\nFor more information, visit our Facebook event page at https://fb.me/e/3y7eeb9sH ( https://fb.me/e/3y7eeb9sH )\n \nAbout the Workshop:\n \nThe elegy in English, from the 1600s to its current articulations, has been employed as a genre of poetry in which poets mourn the dead. At the same time, directly or indirectly, poets often deploy this genre to critique and resist what they view as oppressive and violent aspects of their societies: religious, psychological, political, sexual, and moral. \n \nIn this class, we will read and write elegies, using our readings to inspire us and as a means of generating our own poems. We will explore the elegy’s function as a “work” of mourning for the dead, while widening this genre in order to reflect on not only the deceased, but on other kinds of loss we have experienced.\n \nWe will study diverse poems from poets such as W.S. Merwin, Dorianne Laux, Kevin Young, Ocean Vuong, Danez Smith, Marie Howe, Roger Reeves, Claudia Emerson, Walt Whitman, and many more to see how they successfully explore themselves and the world through the elegy.\n \n \nTHE WORKSHOP INCLUDES:\n\nTwo 150-minute sessions with poem exploration and Q&A\nMultiple prompts and writing activities each session\nBonus sample poems provided between sessions\nActive discussion of sample poems from diverse contemporary poets\nA chance to more intimately engage with a small, focused writing community\n\n
