Are you a photographer looking to expand your work by pairing your images with poetry? Are you a poet seeking to fold photography into your literary practice? Designed to elaborate (and disrupt) students’ primary artistic mode by adding in a complementary artform, this course has participants writing poems and making pictures in tandem. Each session introduces compelling projects that braid poetry and photography, followed by a workshop in which students share and discuss their experiments. Weekly readings and assignments will encourage inspiration and creative inquiry between classes.
This course is designed for novice to intermediate practitioners, ideally those who already practice photography or poetry writing. The sessions foster a supportive, exploratory environment meant to enrich each participant’s facility with generating and joining pictures and poems.
