Families are the focus of countless poems by American writers, from Robert Hayden's "Those Winter Sundays" to Sylvia Plath's "Daddy." In this one-day seminar, we will look at poems by contemporary writers who take new and interesting approaches to this familiar subject. In reflecting on what makes a successful poem, Robert Frost observed, "No surprise for the writer, no surprise for the reader." The poets whose work we'll explore all look at family stories in surprising ways. Members of the class will be encouraged to use some of these poems as inspiration for their own work. Our time together will be spent reading and discussing these model poems, along with pieces contributed by those in the seminar.
