D.O.C. House
Practice reading poems, and writing your own, in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Class sessions will focus on reading and discussion of participants' poems, and reading and analysis of poems from our anthology. We'll also do some in-class writing exercises in hopes of attracting the muse. If time permits we'll discuss how to submit your poems for publication; we also plan to publish a collection of class members' work. Our text will be Frances Mayes' The Discovery of Poetry: A Field Guide to Reading and Writing Poems.
Class is limited to 15 participants.
Mame Willey has taught creative writing courses at the Boston and Cambridge Centers for Adult Education, and composition courses at Bentley College, Wellesley College, and the University of Massachusetts at Boston. She received her MFA in poetry from Bennington Writing Seminars. Her poems have appeared in Cumberland Poetry Review, Anthology of New England Writers, Blueline and California Quarterly.
