About the session:
In this class, we'll be generating our own works of poetry and/or prose exploring the importance of place and location across lines of genre, tradition, language, and syntax, as well as borderlines and frontiers, whether physical, digital, or entirely imagined. With a focus on formal experimentation and collaboratively devised prompts, we will spend the first hour of class drafting new work and the second half discussing and revising our pieces as a group.
