Using language as a flexible medium, we will explore ways to listen to self, then self-and-poem, until the poem itself becomes our guide. Participants are welcome, but not required, to bring older work, but at least one writing exercise will be offered daily and writers will be encouraged to share these through some degree of revision. In the process, we will explore craft issues as they apply organically to each work. Handouts will be supplied to augment, but not confine, our discussions of craft and process. All levels welcome.
Leslie Ullman is Professor Emerita at University of Texas-El Paso and teaches in the low-residency writing program at Vermont College of the Fine Arts. She received a BA from Skidmore College, New York and an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Iowa, and received two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships. Leslie Ullman is the author of Natural Histories (Yale University Press, 1979); Dreams by No One’s Daughter (University of Pittsburgh Press, l987), and Slow Work Through Sand (University of Iowa Press, l998). Her fourth poetry collection, Progress on the Subject of Immensity, will be published by University of New Mexico Press in fall 2013. |
