Lorette is teaching two four-week courses, with Hooked on Ekphrasis beginning next week, and Writing Prose Poetry starting in November. Hope to see you at both of them! Hooked on Ekphrasis: Creative Writing From Visual Art Get more information here: https://wow-womenonwriting.com/classroom/LoretteLuzajic_Ekphrasis.html Ekphrastic writing is the practice of creative writing from visual art. People who love ekphrasis describe being hooked once they start, because it is a wonderful way to expand our imagination, grow our writing, and learn more about visual art. In this class, we will look at the 3000-year history of ekphrasis, and explore fun ways to create our own. We will read inspiring examples, find ideas through brainstorming and writing exercises, and talk about how and where to submit our ekphrastic poetry and stories. Format: 4 weeks for 120 minutes in person via Zoom each week: Wednesdays, 6 pm - 8 pm EST. Dates: October 9, 16, 23, and 30. The class will include time for sharing in class and peer comments. The instructor will also offer feedback on two drafts of ekphrastic writing via email. Writing Prose Poetry https://wow-womenonwriting.com/classroom/LoretteLuzajic_ProsePoetry.html Prose poetry is the black sheep of the poetry world, with many saying it is an oxymoron or that it doesn’t exist at all. This is no surprise, as its rise was an act of rebellion against the restrictions of formal poetry. Many writers find it liberating to create. Others are surprised at how writing poetry in the prose form improves their writing in general. In this class, we will read, write, submit, and explore prose poetry, briefly looking at its history, its greats, resources, and starting or continuing our own writing practice. Format: 4 weeks for 120 minutes in person via Zoom each week: Mondays, 6 pm - 8 pm EST. Dates: November 4, 11, 18, and 25. The class will include time for sharing in class and peer comments. The instructor will also offer feedback on two drafts of prose poetry via email.
