About this Event

Try your hand at the written word! Each month, we will explore different poetic forms–particularly formal experimentation using found poetry. That means we’ll collage magazines to let a poem emerge; play poetry games with our fellow poets; and use ancient and new forms as inspiration for play. No rhyming required!


This class is friendly to students who are brand new to poetry, as well as to seasoned poets who are looking for a shot of inspiration. Students will create at least one poem in each session.


April: Erasure Poetry. Using the page of a book, an email, or other ephemera, find the right words and erase, or black out, the rest.

May: Pregunta. Ask questions–and answer your fellow student’s questions in this poetic form.

June: Exquisite Corpse. We’ll play a roundtable poetry game and end up with as many collaborative poems as we have participants!

July: Ekphrastic Poetry. Explore the art on display at the Fishbowl and use it as inspiration to create a poem.


All supplies are included, though you are welcome to bring your own notebook. This class is recommended for students 14 and up.
