Writing Poetry that Matters with Sandra Hutchison

$10.00

We will look at a variety of poems, from Hafez to Mary Oliver, to learn how to contextualize the lyric poem, so the personal transcends the concerns of the "I" and moves outward to larger issues—social, political, and philosophical.

Sandra Lynn Hutchison has published two books of poetry, a memoir, and a translation of Mahvash Sabet's prison poems. She is the recipient of a Jane Kenyon Poetry Fellowship and Emily Dickinson Poetry Prize.
