Foundations of Cultural Essay Writing with Tre Johnson (Tuesdays)

Foundations of Poetry Writing with Noor Ibn Najam (Wednesdays) 
Writing poetry changes a poet, every time, in ways that can be inexplicable and resistant to explanation. In this discussion-based, generative workshop, we will collaborate to grow our understanding of the craft of poetry. Follow Najam on Instagram at @spike_sappho. (Registration is closed)
