SUMMARY:Brooklyn Poets presents Craft Lab: Nonsense and Senselessness with Jericho Brown
DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn Poets presents Nonsense and Senselessness\, a Craft Lab with Jericho Brown\, on August 15 from 4 to 7 p.m. EDT online via Zoom. \nFrom the organizers: \nFormer Poet Laureate Rita Dove says that “poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful.” Yet many readers still struggle to understand the meanings of poems. In this craft lab\, we’ll dive into what’s going on when we read a poem and think\, “That doesn’t make sense.” Looking at examples of sense and nonsense in the work of several poets\, we’ll explore the different techniques poets use to balance meaning and mystery\, and we’ll generate new work together through a set of unconventional exercises\, drawing on the themes of sense and nonsense\, engendering new ideas about writing. As there is a profound relationship between reading poetry and writing it\, together we’ll read\, discuss\, and even recite the work of several poets whose examples might lead us to a further honing of our craft. \nAll participants will have access to a cloud recording of the craft lab for one month afterward. \nCraft Lab Details \n\nProfessor: Jericho Brown\nDate: Sunday\, August 15\nTime: 4–7 PM (EDT)\nLocation: online via Zoom\nCost: $125\nEarlybird discount: $15 off through SUN\, AUGUST 8\nDeadline for financial aid: FRI\, AUGUST 13\n\nJericho Brown is the recipient of a Whiting Writers’ Award and fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation\, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University\, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
