The full dates of the session are described in the course descriptions. You would need to scroll back to the start date if you needed to enroll for something already underway. But do let us know if you want to join something in midstream since we need the blessing of the instructor. Questions? Email us.

Mapping A Cosmology: a Poetry Workshop with Kathy Fagan (via Zoom)

July 15 @ 12:30 pm - 4:30 pm

$150.00

Mapping A Cosmology: In this workshop we’ll read our poems and others’ with a special emphasis on the cosmologies we poets create through imagery and metaphor. We’ll identify and then focus on using our obsessions as generative subject matter. How might we extend and vivify those obsessions in the body of the poem through line, stanza, and field of page, and how might we deepen and widen the scope of our attention by recognizing and embracing what already possesses us?

NB: This class will be taught on Zoom and will be capped at 15 students. Registrants will receive the Zoom link to the email address they use to register. It will arrive immediately after registration so please check your spam folder if you do not receive it. It will also be sent the day before class as a reminder. Please review the course policies page before registering for any classes. Please email [email protected] with any questions.

The scholarship application for the Altman Person of Color Scholarships, Limp Wrist LGBTQIA+ Scholarships, and the Need-Based Scholarships will be available on May 1 and will be due on May 15 for all summer and fall classes.

Kathy Fagan’s sixth poetry collection is Bad Hobby (Milkweed Editions, 2022). Her previous book, Sycamore (Milkweed, 2017), was a finalist for the 2018 Kingsley Tufts Award. She’s been awarded a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, an Ingram Merrill fellowship, residencies at The Frost Place, Yaddo and MacDowell, and was named Ohio Poet of the Year for 2017.
