Ists and Isms
In these sessions you will look at different approaches to writing lyric poetry from across the C20th. Beginning with the modernist focus on ‘images’ and ‘things’ in Imagism and Objectivism, you’ll then move on to read, write and workshop poems through the lenses of Sur / Realist, Formalist, Postmodern, and Experimental ideas and examples. The course will therefore have a focus on using different techniques and processes, and will push you outside of your usual ways of writing. You’ll experiment with some playful processes and structures, as well as exploring the imagination / subconscious in relation to the formal. And your subject-matter? Limitless!
