We learn a lot when we enter the perspective other people and even objects of the natural and unnatural world. This class will discuss a series of persona poems…written in the voice of the “other”…in order to arrive at a new and deeper understanding of others’ experience. Pulitzer Prize winner Louise Gluck has an entire book, "The Wild Iris", in which the poems are all written in the voice of plants. The purpose of our session will be to practice entering into another’s experience and searching for a deeper meaning that we can apply to own lives. Both poets and prose writers can benefit from this experience.
