Description

In this five-week intermediate course, we will explore the intersections between cinema and poetry, and imagine the poet as director, cinematographer, actor, screenwriter, stage designer, documentarian, etc. We’ll uncover how poetry and film share the elements of discovery, the transformative tools of language and image, and the uniting of the speaker’s inner and outer worlds. This class will strengthen your writing skills, help you see your work with new eyes, and deepen your revision process.
