Have you ever wondered how poets manage to pack expressive power into poems of 10 lines or fewer?
This two-hour exploration will delve into the magic of compressed poetry, focusing on works by Andrea Cohen, W.S. Merwin, Timothy Liu, A.R. Ammons, and others, looking for common principles and strategies we may apply to our own writing.
Exercises will be designed to help you craft precise, distilled, and powerful short poems of you own.
Ever since I heard Pádraig Ó Tuama read “They are Building a Hospital” on the Poetry Unbound podcast, I’ve been captivated by Maya Popa’s poetry. I was in search of poetry craft classes and was delighted to discover Popa has a website with online classes on a range of subjects. I have learned so much from the three classes I purchased: Putting Together a Poetry Chapbook, Re-imagining Revision, and Writing the Short Poem. These were recorded classes held on Zoom, but the audiovisual quality is excellent, and Maya is so encouraging and thoughtful in the way she approaches each class that you feel like you’re being taught by a very smart friend and mentor who truly cares about your development as a poet. I highly recommend these classes! — Lisa Merschel, Ph.D. Director, Spanish Language, Duke University
