Poetry Goes To The Movies:
A Poetry Workshop led by Leonard Gontarek,
This workshop will focus on clarity in the composition of a poem
— the clarity of ideas, narrative, and place —
by way of a cinematic approach.
We will look at film clips, as well as poems on specific movies
and related subjects. The poems of Frank O'Hara, Edward Field,
Barry Gifford, among others, will be discussed. We will view clips
from the movies of Wim Wenders, Michelangelo Antonioni,
Wayne Wang, Wes Anderson, for instance.
Students will be given weekly assignments.
