Experienced Writer for Your Project

Tuesdays: April 15 - May 13, 6-9 PM

This course will briefly provide an introduction to nonce and inherited  forms. We’ll read works by poets Kenzie Allen, Erin Marie Lynch, Sandra  Marchetti, and others, and explore how these poets approach working with  form. The class is generative in nature, the poems that we read will  serve as a springboard for creating our own poetic forms. Each class  will have dedicated time for writing and sharing new work.

Five Indigenous poets will share their creative work, while discussing  how reclaiming their ancestral language has affected their personal  poetics and healing process. Fluidity within the genre of poetry allows  room for the inclusion of Indigenous languages and the decentering of  English, rendering the poem a space of active decolonization. Here, the  contemporary Indigenous poet writes themselves within the contexts of  their own mother tongue and by Indigenizing the colonizer’s language.

Workshop leaders and instructors encourage writers to mimetically  recreate voice on the page and strive for authenticity in their  representations of self and community. But how can one authentically  express themselves when their identity is exoticized or othered, on and  off the page? As Indigenous writers and poets, we’ll discuss craft  strategies, including form and curation, as methods of deconstructing  the concepts of the authentic other in poetry.

Ekphrastic Poetry places text in conversation with image and sound. In the practice, a dialogue emerges between the two and creates a third space, one that questions how embodied experience is intimately connected to witness and gaze. In this panel 5 Indigenous poets will discuss how they employ that third space in their own poetics, complicating the underlying power dynamics between gaze and object by sharing examples of their own work and engaging with the audience.

Native relationships with water involve complex cultural beliefs. Likewise, Indigenous Hydropoetics has many tributaries. This panel will begin with a collaborative video poem and then consider how cultural traditions and place-based experiences influence poetic form and content. We will discuss our efforts to write with rather than about water-- to enter into dialogue on the ways reciprocity informs our writing, living on and off the page, including as eco-activism and multi-media expressions.
