Rants, Odes and Images: A Poetry Workshop with George Bilgere
Rants, Odes, and Images
with George Bilgere
With William Carlos Williams' famous dictum, "No ideas but in things," in mind, this workshop will address the importance of constructing a poem around a central, physical image. We'll read a couple of poems by contemporary masters like Tony Hoagland and Dorianne Laux and examine the techniques these poets use to write so effectively. Using their poems as models, we'll then do a couple of in-class writing exercises, after which I'll ask students to share their poems with the class. One poem will be a "rant," based on a Hoagland poem and the other will be an ode, based on a Laux poem. I have found both prompts to be exceptionally effective in getting students to "write their way into poem." If time permits we'll end the session with a discussion of strategies for getting poems into print.
