Site-Seeing
Pack a bag. We’re going on a field trip. After a tour of all our favourite writing spots, we’ll set out to locate the places where our poems happen. On this course we’ll revisit the sites of ms. We’ll learn how to build poems on the move and how to read poems that are stuck to one specific spot. We’ll take all our provisions along with us. Alice Oswald’s nightbook. Sean Borodale’s beekeeper’s veil. A handful of Emily Dickinson’s envelopes. Richard Long’s walking map. And we won’t need to go far. Most of us write at our desks, on the bus, in our beds. These are rich and peculiar landscapes that roll under our work. We just need to stay put and explore.
