Poetry Camp: How to Write a Sonnet
Class experience
Let's learn to write sonnets! In this class, we will discover why sonnets have been a favorite poetic form for hundreds of years. We will study famous sonnets written by contemporary poets, discover the different parts of a sonnet, and learn how to identify a sonnet in the wild. Then, we will practice writing our own sonnets, using the techniques we learn in class! Students will receive prompts during the week, and can send their poems in for teacher feedback. The sonnet is an important...
In this class students will: - gain exposure to famous poets of the American cannon - read excellent sonnets written by important poets - learn the different parts of the sonnet and how sonnets work - learn how to write a sonnet, and incorporate sonnet techniques - write three brand new sonnets in response to three different prompts! - receive feedback on their poems - gain confidence as poets and creative writers
My goal with this class is to encourage and inspire young people to develop a creative writing practice. It's something I wish I had as a young writer! Here's a little bit about me: Lupita Eyde-Tucker writes poetry in English and Spanish. The winner of the 2019 Betty Gabehart Prize for Poetry, her poems have recently appeared in Nashville Review, The Acentos Review, The Florida Review, Raleigh Review, Asymptote, Columbia Journal, The Arkansas International, Yemassee, Pilgrimage, and Chautauqua. She is currently translating two collections of poetry by Venezuelan poet Oriette D'Angelo. Lupita will be a Staff Scholar at Bread Loaf Translators Conference this summer, and will begin working towards an MFA in Poetry at the University of Florida this Fall. Her chapbook, Creek Lover, was published in October 2019. Lupita and her husband homeschool their children in Florida. Read more of her poems at: www.NotEnoughPoetry.com
A notebook solely dedicated to writing your poems and a comfortable pen. Access to word processing software, such as Microsoft Word. A robust imagination and a positive attitude :)
This class is designed to be a safe place for creative writers and artists. In order to build that trust my default is to simply not include material that might disrupt that trust. When selecting poems to study, I do not choose poems with overt sexuality or violence. I also do not choose poems which contain or allude to situations such as drug use, pornography, or self-harm. Having said that, occasionally a poem may have a bad word. While I default to use poems without bad language, there may be a poem or two with one bad word in it. You can rest assured that there will not be any words beyond what you would hear on prime time network television. In my live class I do not allow the use of bad words, and if one of the readings contains a bad word, I will say a few things in our live class to address that choice by the poet.
