DEAD POETS SOCIETY: Join me for a weekly class composed of lecture, close reads, discussion, tailored prompts and the opportunity to write your own poems in response to the all stars we’ll be studying. Together, we will delight in the work of Ntozake Shange, Adrienne Rich, Grace Paley, June Jordan, e.e. cummings, Dean Young, Emily Dickinson, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Robert Hayden and Alejandra Pizarnik. This class is for all levels and will be a place of invention, encouragement and community!
