S tudents will have the opportunity to compose poems that grapple—however loosely—with how they understand “hauntedness.”\n Course Outline\nT his course is divided equally between close reading/elements of craft and workshopping. Beginning with Victorian and Modernist hauntings in works by Tennyson\, Dickinson\, Hardy\, and Eliot\, we will look at modern and con temporary poems by Sylvia Plath\, Philip Larkin\, W.B. Yeats\, W.H. Auden\ , Agha Shahid Ali\, Anthony Hecht\, Claudia Emerson\, Louise Glück\, Car l Phillips\, Seamus Heaney\, Carolyn Forché\, Natasha Trethewey\, Frank B idart\, Lucille Clifton\, Armen Davoudian\, and Cathy Linh Che\, among oth ers. Some of the questions we will explore: What does it mean to be haunt ed? How do poems remember the past and seek to reanimate it\, or\, in turn \, to flee from it? How do poems\, like ghosts\, dramatize the unfinished business of the living? Why is the domestic sphere such fertile ground for the uncanny? Which poetic ancestors and ideas haunt us as writers today?\ nBIO\nEmily Leithauser’s book of poems\, The Borrowed World (2016) won the Able Muse Book Prize. Her poetry has since appeared in The New Yorker\ , The Paris Review\, and Poetry International\, among other venues. Her tr anslations of Baudelaire have been published in Literary Imagination and L iterary Matters.

Each week in Pure Critique\, we’ll read and comment on a manuscript from 2-3 class participants (everyone gets to present at least twice) and ask what works \, what seems less effective\, and why\, as well as what one might try.\nP articipants test chapters or extracts from their novels and memoirs or sho rt stories and essays\, or sometimes curious chimeric hybrids as their dra ft searches for form. What you will find in this class is a forum for ongo ing\, astute feedback that will help you keep working. We’ll discuss wha tever issues of writing may come up—perhaps whether a metaphor works or you even need one\, the question of research\, the efficacy of dialogue\, scene\, narrative chronology\, diction (is a word like chimeric a good o ption?)\, structure\, pacing\, interiority\, humor\, thematic intent…. T he goal is to help writers engage with craft and move one draft to the nex t. We encourage each other to be writers\, both playful and serious\, an d thus more engaging in our writing by risking more and digging deeper. \n In Pure Critique we range far and wide in our discussions.\nTo give you a sense of the creative fervor\, the maelstrom of imaginative popcorn\, the synaptic jumps and quantum leaps\, the sheer headburn of lightbulbs going on and topics leaping fro and to\, here’s a sample of subjects that ha ve come under scrutiny\, the microscope\, and internet checking in recent class deliberations:\n\nprecious gems\, specifically how rubies cannot or are rarely cut\;\nthe iron lung and the little toys given to distract chi ldren in them\;\nwhen the decline of holiday resort hotels a la The Catski lls actually occurred\;\ncroquet\, the somewhat archaic game\, as genteel pastime and perhaps demonstrative of an attitude to life\;\nAmerican Civil War battlefields\, and how the wounded fared\;\nand the exact layout of a well-known restaurant frequented by high-flyers and lowlife-fixers from  the noir-ish heyday of many decades past and whether such precision matter ed.\n\nThese things have only come up as small references in stories and e ssays and novels and memoirs presented for class critique. They’ve been a subset of the critique. Yet we examine them. What is the benefit of this ? Well\, if its relevant to the work in hand\, it’s examined. To what ex tent should such material be worked in\, or out? From such debate\, we oft en can come to evaluate how useful these things might be.\nThis is one of the ways we work in The Workshop of Pure Critique. We digress. We debate. We ponder. We disagree. We laugh. We pool our intellectual and imaginati ve resources. In so doing\, we approach the material from different angle s in order to find a better way in. Digression to a purpose. As Tolkien s aid\, “Not all those who wander are lost.” Intelligent conversation ab out your work: pure critique.\nClass will begin on Thursday\, Sep. 10\, an d continue for seven consecutive Thursdays (9/10\, 9/17\, 9/24\, 10/1\, 10 /8\, 10/15\, 10/22. All classes will be held on Zoom from 9:30-11:30 a.m. (ET).

Or\, maybe abou t an artist\, actress\, historical figure\, or someone who inspires you\, and tell their story? If you are interested and ready to take the next ste ps toward what can be a lengthy project\, this course will guide you in th e process of writing a biographical narrative.\n Writing about another pe rson is fascinating\, demanding\, and rewarding. It means bringing another person to life\, while gaining insight into your own creative process. Yo u’ll need to research and deliberate about describing your subject’s p ersonality\, looks\, and outlook on life while “locating” them in thei r environments. You will want to dig deep to unearth details and documents that have eluded others. You have to be nosy and find out as much as poss ible about their relationships — families\, partners\, friends\, mentors \, influences\, colleagues. Whatever time-frame your subject lived in—th e Civil War\, the Harlem Renaissance or the 21st century—you’ll want t o explore the cultural forces in their lifetimes.\n The first week’s cl ass will provide an overview on choosing a subject\, and discussing resear ch and writing methods. We will also share brief readings from biographies you admire\, and any work-in-progress you may have.\nThe remaining three classes will include:\n\nCompiling a list of research sources\, such as in terview subjects\, research libraries\, literature\, oral histories\, hist orical newspapers and media\nWriting an outline\nTime-traveling into when and where your subject lived and worked\, and their contextual surrounding s\nDrafting a sample chapter\n\nBIO\nStephanie Stein Crease is a jazz his torian\, author\, and editor.

Participants will gain a working vocabular y for the field and a clearer sense of whichapproaches best fit their goal s\, sites\, budgets\, and communities.\n\n\n\nWho Does the Work: Decision- Making and ProcessesSuccessful public art begins with clear roles and a de fined process.

Through readings of contemporary sports poems and guided writing d iscussions and exercises\, attendees will explore how examining athletics can be transformed into poetry.\n This workshop is grounded in a shared u nderstanding that sports can function and serve as both personal experienc e and a cultural text. While participants may arrive with different relati onships to sports\, such as former/current athletes\, fans\, observers\, o r writers interested in the language and mythology of sports\, the worksho p creates space for exploring how athletics can intersect with identity\, memory\, place\, and community through poetry.\n This workshop will encou rage writers to move beyond just celebration and nostalgia\, but it will f ocus on using sports as an entry point into larger conversations around th emes of belonging\, ambition\, vulnerability\, family\, history\, and cult ural memory. We will review and study contemporary sports poetry and have guided writing prompts and discussion. Participants will explore how\, as a funhouse mirror to society\, the tensions and emotional complexities emb edded within sports often mirror those of our everyday lives\, allowing at hletics to be a space where writers can examine the broader human experien ce.\n The workshop will include:\n\n A discussion of sports poetry as a literary tradition\, examining how poets have used athletics\, competition \, fandom\, and physical performance to explore identity\, family\, race\, gender\, memory\, community\, and place.\nClose readings of contemporary sports poems\, with attention to craft elements such as imagery\, voice\, form\, narrative\, and the use of sports-specific language and cultural re ferences.\nGuided prompts that encourage writers to move beyond game summa ries and explore the emotional\, social\, and historical dimensions of spo rts experiences.\n Small-group discussions and peer feedback sessions foc used on developing new work generated during the workshop\n Conversation about writing sports for literary audiences\, including strategies for bal ancing accessibility\, specificity\, and emotional resonance.\n Opportuni ties for participants to share new work aloud and discuss their creative p rocess with fellow writers.\n A resource session highlighting notable spo rts poetry collections\, literary journals\, anthologies\, and publication venues interested in work engaging athletics and sports culture.\n An op en Q&A addressing craft and publishing sports poetry.\n\n Participants of all experience levels are welcome. The goal is that attendees leave the c ourse with both new skills and ideas to write sports poetry and informatio n about sharing sports-related poetry with readers and publishers.\nBIO\nM atthew Johnson is a poet and author of multiple poetry collections\, inclu ding Jackie Robinson's Real Gone: Baseball Poems of New York (Cornerstone Press) and Too Short to Box with God (Finishing Line Press).
