Do you like puzzles? Do you enjoy taking apart machinery and reassembling it? Do you see stories within other stories? Whether or not you fancy yourself a poet, this class will give you new ways to tell stories.
We'll use newspapers, magazines, song lyrics, book excerpts, and even other poems to write our found poetry. Individual and partner exercises will be included and all will help you expand your definition of what it means to create.
