Poetry of Protest Community Class
Saturday, December 7th, 9am-12pm
Vermont College of Fine Arts
What can poetry offer in times of political crisis? How have writers used their poetry as a form of resistance and how might we follow their lead? In this class, we'll explore these questions through discussion, writing prompts, and reading the diverse and powerful ways that other poets have approached these subjects in their work. You'll leave the class with a better understanding of protest poetry, the beginnings of fresh poems of your own, and connection to a community of other writers. Bring something to write with.
