Borrowing its title from Audre Lorde’s poem “A Lover’s Song,” this six-week course is for poets navigating the intersection of their passion for poetry and their professionalization as “emerging poets” in the publishing industry. An interactive space, the course will include light lectures, group discussions, guest visits, and generative prompts. Poets will come away from this cohort with a professional portfolio prepared for pitching projects and pieces to journals, artist fellowships, and literary agents.
