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...
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. ...
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

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...

Reading to Write with Myla Goldberg

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.

Intro to Poetry Writing
Classeteria @ 284 Suydam St, Brooklyn, NY
What makes a poem a poem? How do poems engage us, surprise us, make us laugh, or give us goosebumps?

In this workshop you will read modern poets (Dickinson, Frost, Gluck, Neruda, Roethke,Stevens, Tate, Whitman) and develop an awareness of the techniques they use (structure, music, line breaks, stanzas,...
