Course Description
ONLINE: A persona poem has the potential to transport both writer and reader. Speaking in the voice of Uncle Ed or Albert Einstein, a flamingo or Florence Nightingale involves active imagination coupled with using poetic skills such as personification, creative diction, and figuration - making a character’s voice believable. Persona poems appropriate the identities of celebrities and historical figures. Persona allows hurricanes to rant and a dog speak his mind. Poetic monologues offer great freedom - a man can take a woman’s voice and vice versa. A Greek goddess might ride a Harley or Napoleon may find himself in basic training at Fort Liberty. You will receive weekly craft pages with examples of persona poems and prompts for your work. Submitting your poems a day and a half before class, the instructor will send out the collected poems each week. Discussions will focus on appreciating your poems, with an eye towards possible edits. The instructor will provide a weekly note to each student. | Facilitated discussion.
Max enrollment: 11.
