This seminar will be an in-depth discussion of poetry as embodied consciousness on the page. Rooted in exploration of self and world, we'll look at examples of how poetry is uniquely situated to sculpt - from the strange unknowable material of the individual unconscious - a shared experience with readers. Together we will challenge our own ideas of self in writing, investigating concepts of reality, memory, dreams, Nature and modes of consciousness.
