12:00 pm: Poet-TRY 11 with Stephanie Barbé Hammer12:00 pm: Poet-TRY 11 with Stephanie Barbé Hammer – February 20 – March 27, 2022 (Six Weeks – Asynchronous) Poet-TRY 11 with Stephanie Barbé Hammer Boot Camp for Writers: Tell Me a Story Cost: $150 On Wet Ink, with optional office hours on Zoom; to register: https://tinyurl.com/Poet-try11 Poems have been used for millennia to tell a story: through myth, adventure, love story/scene, personal memory, letter of complaint, dramatic monologue, and everything in between. In Poet-TRY 11, participants will experiment with using poems – formal, informal, and prose – to hint at a narrative or maybe even unfold a tale in a series of poems. Memoirs in poems exist as they do novels. Let’s see what happens when narrative meets lyric! This workshop is asynchronous. Students are asked to keep up with the weekly assignments and post them during the week. Wet Ink is an online platform that creates an immersive learning experience around written work from participants, using Wet Ink classrooms and communities. For more on Wet Ink, please visit: https://wet.ink/.

All are welcome. February’s three “Writing About Black Art” workshops (February 5, 19, and 26) will explore writing about Black art from a biographical perspective. Participants will examine how to unpack this art and make it accessible to readers by analyzing how the life of the artist informs the creative process. Through class lectures, Zoom discussion groups, and homework exercises, participants will learn about selected African American artists from different perspectives and produce a 350-word essay concentrating on one work of art. Time will also be devoted to peer reviews of essay drafts in Zoom discussion groups. These workshops are designed to develop marketable skills as a freelance writer writing about Black art and artists. |
