In this workshop, we will read poems about the dead, the dying, loss, losing, unfulfilled wishes, and the complexities that sorrow can bring to a work beyond mere regurgitation of said sorrow. Grief is a process that can be lifelong, and in its ever-presence lies the details of how one has loved what no longer exists – at all or in the same way. Students will write poems dealing with grief as well as poems of their own thematic concerns, using the poems we read in class as guides to better understanding nuanced ways to making craft decisions that explore the magnitude of one of our most challenging emotions.
