Poetry Across Borders with Linda Ehrlich – 4 sessions (via Zoom)

October 6, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

$40.00

With a special emphasis on Japanese, Chinese, and Middle Eastern poetry, this four-session workshop offers a chance to explore, read, and even try your own hand at poetry from outside of familiar European traditions. The class will include a look at tanka, haiku, and zuihitsu (“follow the brush”) from Japan, landscape painting and poetry from China, and Ghazals from the Persian/Urdu tradition. For each tradition there will be a particular focus  on women poets, and on the ties between poetry and the visual arts. Each class will include informational talks, break-out sessions, and readings. The final week will be case studies of famous poets from those non-European traditions. The instructor is happy to read participants’ writings related to the course, for comment.

Cost:  $40 (includes all sessions)
