Reading Chaucer with Noam Scheindlin
92nd Street Y @ 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY
Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales takes us back to a time when the sun still revolved around the Earth, and the Earth was at the center of the Divine Plan. How heavily that cosmic order weighs upon the average person! Chaucer, through his collective portrait of a group of pilgrims on their way to Canterbury, takes us into the backwaters of this cosmic order, and helps us to understand what it is like to live life amidst the hierarchies of both...
Poetry with R.A. Villanueva
92nd Street Y @ 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY
Gerard Manley Hopkins once wrote in a letter that he wanted his poetry to embody “more wreck and less discourse.” Detour away from the well-worn routines of workshop in these dynamic sessions. Rather than laboring to finish or fix drafts, our sessions will be devoted to generative bursts, improvisational drafts, and provocative conversations about language, memory, and the future of what we create. We will seek to unsettle habits...
Writing Sonnets
How can poets use sonnets to communicate a whole world of thought and emotion in just fourteen lines? Join Rachel Hadas for an immersive weekend looking at how writers have grappled with the sonnet—one of our most durable, versatile, challenging, and generative forms—throughout its long and still evolving history. Each day begins with looking at a wide range of Petrarchan and Shakespearean sonnets, followed by writing a sonnet of your own.
Poetry with Emily Skillings
92nd Street Y @ 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY
When we consider and write poetry we are often drawn towards inescapably large abstractions such as love, death, and time. What happens when we invest (obsessively, meticulously, and with deep care) in the concrete objects that populate our daily lives? In this four-week workshop we will consider how artists in multiple disciplines have made use of things and thingness, meditating on objects and the worlds and affiliations they create in us. ...
Reading Old English with Miller Oberman
While Seamus Heaney’s brilliant translation of Beowulf introduced a wider audience to the only Old English epic poem, most contemporary readers have not encountered the fascinating shorter lyrics written in Old English. This course invites readers into the ancient ruins of the English language, moving through some of the most beautiful poems in The Exeter Book, written about a thousand years ago. From the anonymous voices of longing...
Written in the Stars—A Workshop on Poetry and Astrology
92nd Street Y @ 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY
Even if we were all to speak the same language, we would speak it differently. This is what makes communication so exciting and so troublesome. For those of us who seek connection that is beyond our personal context, symbolic archetypes can offer a great deal of information. Like math, astrology is a system shared between many cultures (with variation granted for Vedic interpretations); its symbolic correlations can be found in ancient spiritual...

Shadowbox Assemblages
92nd Street Y @ 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY
Use found materials to create a low-relief shadowbox, filled with a combination of found objects, magazine images and paint. Create visual poetry from the commonplace, inspired by Joseph Cornell. Q&A Q: Can I make up a class if I miss one? A: No, make-up classes are not allowed since other classes may be full. Further, instructors are paid based on the number of students within their own classes, so attending a class outside...

Generative Workshop in Poetry
92nd Street Y @ 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY
Full Course Name Generative Workshop in Poetry with LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs What is it that informs our writing? Is it identity? Our mothers? Politics? Language? In this generative workshop, we will write and talk about what provokes and inspires us to write. Culturally we might write as our ancestors might have spoken. Perhaps some of us are not meant to write in a linear fashion. To be “roundabout” or circular may be closer to how our ears...

The Art of the Image: A Poetry Master Class
92nd Street Y @ 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY
This master class considers the construction of imagery in poetry—from subject to simile—and how the undertone of music in a line can help bolster that image. From Bishop’s fish to Shaughnessy’s octopus, from Williams’ plums to Hughes’ festering raisin—explore the image: what what drives our lines and what we often find most memorable about a poem.

Advanced Poetry with Cynthia Cruz
92nd Street Y @ 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY
When we write poems, we begin with what we don’t know, collecting disparate bits and pieces. When we revise, we use what we know: the pull of sound, language, meaning, silence and order. In this advanced workshop, we look at craft — line, space, stanza, form, music and register of language — as well as the work of outside writers. Students are chosen by Cynthia Cruz on the basis of a manuscript submission.

Poetry Writing Level 1: 10-Week Workshop (Online)
Michael Montlack was excellent at introducing us to different forms of poetry in an accessible, doable way. He took our poems seriously but also had a sense of humor, which made a difference to me, since I was new to poetry and slightly intimidated by it. I intend to continue writing poems and taking poetry classes largely due to him. -
