How do we do so in a way that doesn’t drain the process itself of pleasure? What do we even mean by ‘pleasure’ in poetry? Isn’t your pleasure different from my pleasure? What on earth could this possibly have to do with a creative practice? Participants will to come to class with some lines or a stanza from a poem of someone’s that brings them pleasure.
