Issues of class and labor affect every poet, regardless of where one lies on the socio-economic spectrum. In this class, we will examine class and labor as generative subjects particularly suited to speak back to power. How can poetry imagine new, anti-capitalist networks of mutual exchange? Where does the lyric live in your 9-5? We will also discuss and share strategies for “stealing” time from employers, incorporating our creative practice into the dullest of jobs. Prompts and discussions will be sprinkled throughout the session, and everyone is encouraged to participate at the pace they desire. Come to this class ready to write, laugh, commiserate, and build community!
