Does the music of your poetry express the complex feelings you intend? This class will help you find out.Designed for serious writers and beginners, this is not a workshop but a class in technique. We will study sound patternings and phraseology, scansion, modulations of volume in the creation of audible gestures. Through exercises, lectures and compositional assignments unheard of in poetry classes, we will sharpen your ability to detect the expressive nuances of sound in language. The end goal is for you to learn to hear in precise terms how you sound on the pageReading and listening list includes Shakespeare (and pop music version of one of his sonnets), Beethoven, Stephen Sondheim, club music, Jose Garcia Villa, Basho, Laura Mullen, Lyn Hejinian, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, Sandra Miller, Ricardo de Ungria and Bjork. We will also look at a Kandinsky.
Songwriters are welcome.
