Before meaning there is the sound of a poem. This will be a fun poetry workshop with emphasis on sound, a celebration of the word, the main component of the poem. Students work together to produce experimental sound-based poems. We will use exercises that emphasize the part sound plays in poetry, drawing inspiration from surrealism and performance poetry. Students will be encouraged to bend the rules of grammar, to just have fun with language.
