In this class\, we will concentrate on writing towards the places in our poems where humility manifests itself as a clarity of vision of ourselves in relation to the world. We’ll accomplish this through reading and writing that asks each of us to create a poetics of humility that yields not a poem of regret but of wonder—at change\, at realization\, at the endless\, humble prospect of still-to-be-seen possibility. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGUIDELINES & REGISTRATION\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note: this workshop is limited to 15 participants.
