February 20, 2022

February 20 – March 27, 2022 (Six Weeks – Asynchronous)

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/.
