Freedom within Constraint (Spring 2017)
A Campus group for students on ‘Freedom within Constraint’ with Rachael Allen.
All poems are written within a kind of form or framework, even free verse, and many poets find it highly generative to employ specific constraints in their writing. Through studying example poems, engaging with writing tasks and playing with procedure and device, this course will look at ways to experiment with poetic constraints and open up new pathways in your own writing, including sessions on prose poems, oulipo and various formal constraints.
