Come steep in the world of the erotic! In the first two classes of this three-part series we will read and write poetry that centers on pleasure. Among other writers, we will encounter works from Sharon Olds, Natalie Diaz, and Audre Lorde. In our third and final class, we will workshop our own poems of bliss inspired by the genre. Writers of all levels are welcome!
