1) Poetry Worksop
In this workshop, we will examine the elements that distinguish poetry from prose. Each student will have the opportunity to share their own work with the class, and, in turn, will provide constructive feedback to their peers. Additionally, we will consider published works as models for our own writing.
The poetry workshop instructor will be Amanda Phillips. Ms. Phillips is an Instructor at the University of Louisville, where she has taught creative writing and English composition.
This workshop will meet once a week on Wednesday nights, starting on the 13th of July and ending on the 17th of August, 2011. The workshop will start at 7:30 PM and last for one hour. This workshop will meet at the Louisville Creative Centre, which is located on the John Knox Presbyterian Church Campus.
Each member of the workshop will receive a new copy of “Best American Poetry 2010,” Edited by David Lehman, Amy Gerstler, and David Lehman. This book has a retail value of $10.00.
