10 weeks

MONDAY May 5 - SUNDAY July 13

How can a poet shore up their writing life in times that try a person's soul? We need to connect to our muses more than ever when times are tough, but it's often hardest to do when we feel depleted!

In this class, you’ll examine your creative process through a series of activities and experiments designed to strengthen your relationship with your muse, to connect with mentor texts, and expand your literary community, whether it’s via engagement with our class, or empowering you to seek out more frequent connections with writers outside our classroom. Each week we'll be guided by Austen Kleon's book, Keep Going, (required) along with other brief supplemental materials. You’ll be encouraged to discuss your process, post discoveries and share new work (optional) without intense feedback. (Cheering each other on in response is encouraged, but no critiques necessary.) By the end of class, you'll have a few more strategies for sailing your creative ship into clear sailing or the stormy seas of the next four years and beyond.

*May, June and July Jumpstarts dovetail to this course, but are not included as part of this rate. 

If you're interested in joining those months, you're welcome to individually sign up for the ones which fit your schedule, or use the other signup link to be automatically enrolled in each round, and receive the invites to join and prompts for each round whether you attend or not.
