Seasonal Observations with Éireann Lorsung (Book Arts & Design)
This series of classes combines bookmaking, writing, and sketching to help you support and develop a practice of daily observation meant to support you as an artist, whatever your field. Through a series of cross-disciplinary exercises provided by the instructor, each participant will devise a self-directed habit of direct engagement with the natural world around them. Exercises will help you sharpen your observational skills, build on your current habits of recording/note-taking, develop your associative sense, and flex the parts of your creative brain you may not always put to full use.
Poetry Chapbook Intensive
Over a period of 5 months, this intensive will focus on generating, editing, and organizing a chapbook of 12-15 poems. The course will begin with a week-long residency (July 5-11) with Richard Blanco (2012 Presidential Inaugural poet) and your cohort of classmates at the Maine Media campus. You’ll workshop a batch of your current poems and write new ones. We’ll discuss each poet’s overarching concerns and themes, and learn strategies for putting together a chapbook. Following the initial workshop residency, you’ll generate more new poems and share them bi-monthly for online critique by Richard and your cohort over the course of the next 5 months. The course will culminate with a weekend workshop via Zoom online conference to look at each other’s chapbooks in their final stages of completion to submit for publication.
