Description from the Instructor

If poetry is created in units, those units are these: word, line, poem, chapbook, book. Of all these vital units, the one I might love most is the chapbook. Chapbooks allow for the creation of a tiny world—bigger than the microcosm the poem allows, but not large enough to require the scaffolding a book does. In this workshop we will create our own chapbooks, to be printed and shared in our own writing community here in Miami.

Over the course of eight sessions, each student will produce a 12-page chapbook. We will do in-class writing exercises to help you generate material for your chapbook. We will read chapbooks by other poets, and these books will help shape your understanding of the medium, give you techniques to apply, and provide you with inspiration. Finally, we will workshop poems in class, giving each writer the opportunity for feedback.

The class culminates in a "zine-assembly" and public reading.
