Poetry Camp: How to Write a Sonnet

Class
Lupita Eyde-Tucker
Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(27)
Why are sonnets SO COOL? Find out in this fun class: we'll read contemporary sonnets by important poets to learn what makes a sonnet tick! During this week-long camp, students will get inspiring prompts to write 3 new sonnets of their own.

Class experience

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.
