| Description | Poetry thrives in the senses. In this class we'll explore-and try
out-the many ways that poetry engages the visual, including: how
it renders the world in description, how it imagines via poetic
image, how it responds to visual art (in a mode called
ekphrasis), and how it becomes an art object itself (the
concrete). We'll look at the many ways that poets join their
texts with visuals, including erasure and blackout poetry, comics
poetry, broadsides, typography, alt text as poetry, and more.
Notably, many of these modes which subvert and counter dominant
poetics are employed by BIPOC poets to open up space for their
experiences and voices. We'll follow their practice to consider
how they disrupt poetic norms and create new forms Keywords:poetry, art, creative writing |
