Dream Poems (starting at $79)
How often do you remember your dreams? If you remember (or record) your dreams, how often is there a recurring symbol or motif that you’d like to explore in your writing? How do we blend “the real world” and “the dream world,” or the tangible and the surreal (or spiritual) in our poems?
We will read and discuss poems by Marwa Helal, Ada Limón, Li-Young Lee, John Skoyles, and others as inspiration for our own work. Participants will be encouraged to keep a dream journal between Sessions I and II.
Session I will include a short craft lecture, reading & discussion of exemplar poems, and free writing from prompts. Session II will consist of a brief review, continue with readings and generative exercises, and will conclude with an opportunity to share our drafts with each other.
You are welcome to sign up for one or both sessions.
