A Peek Into ‘The Poet’s Journal’ with Robert Whitehead

Reading poetry can feel incredibly intimate—like being let in on a secret world.

In our upcoming eight-week poetry workshop, we'll uncover the secret worlds each of us contain. Through a series of exercises and prompts, each student will create their own "Poet's Journal"—a daily diary that will help us engage with our own interiority, and mine the secret world in all of us to find the raw material for poems.

To guide our explorations, we’ll read poetry, essays, hybrid writing, translation, and more. Each student will also have the opportunity to workshop 2-3 poems during this course, gaining valuable feedback and insight from a class of engaged readers.
