Shaping Poems: Online

with Andrea O’Brien

Monday, July 2-Friday, August 10 (times are flexible depending on participants’ schedules)
$108


Poems in “shaping forms” are poems where the form is established by content rather than by rhyme or metrical pattern. Join this online community to explore shaping forms like the elegy, ode, and pastoral. Format will include reading exemplary poems, writing our own poems in the style of various shaping forms, and engaging in a virtual dialog about the poems we read and write. Limit: 8 participants. Online class information will be emailed prior to start of class.

“Classes offered by the Carnegie Center have been the making of me as a poet. Beginning with a workshop with Tony Crunk, proceeding through a Master Class with James Baker Hall, out of which grew the Mosaic women’s poetry group, and culminating in a long series of advanced workshops with Leatha Kendrick, I have received the most valuable training of my career. All very reasonably priced.” --- Sherry Chandler
