My Body Is A Cage: Poetry and The Physical Self

This generative poetry workshop dares us to answer the question: how can our bodies be utilized in poetic expression? We will start by discussing poems that center the physical body and all its parts, before moving on to creating and sharing our own body-centered pieces for generous and supportive group feedback. Students may choose to write electronically with their own devices or by hand with provided pen and paper, and should feel comfortable sharing their work in a group setting. Poets discussed will include Lucille Clifton, Nick Flynn, Kenny Fries, Cathy Park Hong, and Robin Ekiss.
