This generative writing class focuses on writing several forms of poetry that encourage interaction with other poems and poets, such as centos, golden shovels, contrapuntals, and other forms that require the poet to engage with other works to create new poetic collaborations. All are welcome, no matter your level of experience with poetry. At the end of class you’ll have three or four drafts of new poems.
This class is suitable for writers of all levels.
Marianne Worthington is author of the prize-winning poetry collection, The Girl Singer, and the forthcoming collection, Water. Witness. Word., from Belle Point Press in 2026.
