"POETRY AS PATTERN" WITH RALPH AND DJ SAVARESE
Sun, Feb 12, 20233:00 PM Sun, Mar 26, 20234:30 PM
**COURSE IS FILLED!**
Visit The Lynx Project for more information and to check for future classes.
Course information: How can purposefully shaped repetition—what in another context would be dismissed as perseveration—become a formal apparatus to enhance our ways of sensing and feeling?
In this six-week course, we will study forms such as the villanelle, pantoum, sestina, ghazal, sonnet and ode, and we will try our hand at writing three or four of them. In the process, we will deepen our sense of poetry as a kind of music beyond the mere meaning of words.
Join Ralph and DJ for this patterned extravaganza.
Dates: Feb 12, 19, 26 and March 12, 19, 26, 3-4:30pm Central Time
