YOU, The Movie – Horror, Western, Romance, Noir and Disaster Poetry
Cinema has changed the way we view the world. Inspired by film and the way that it coerces us into reimaging our lives behind the lens, this course will explore the writing of ‘genre’ poetry. Focusing on Westerns, Apocalyptic Disaster, Film Noir, Romantic Comedies, and Horror, this course will inspire you to tell your life stories in poetic form as though they were set within these genres. As the first poetry course with a viewing list as long as its reading list, by the end you’ll have a sequence of poems that take in everything from shoot-outs at dawn, climate change, alien invasion, pessimistic private eyes, quirky love affairs and dark slasher thrillers. This is a course for film and poetry lovers.
