Formlessness (Core course, Lesson #11)
 
Free verse (what I call ‘Formlessness’) is the art of writing poetry without a strict pre-set form; often misunderstood, free verse is easily taken for granted as simpler or less restrictive than form. But, in this class we put those illusions aside; you will learn about the craft behind free verse, about the real freedom it offers, and you will practice the improvisation skills you will need to write it.
 
A companion class to ‘Form’ but also a great standalone class for any poet looking to learn the basics of free verse.
 
What is included in this class:
 
A lecture covering: what free verse is, some examples of free verse, tips and advice on writing free verse.
Pack contains 1. a recording of the original lecture, 2. a copy of the lecture presentation and 3. the transcribed text.
A writing exercise guiding you through writing a free verse poem.
