How does a poem hold emotional weight? In this generative poetry workshop, students will explore how contemporary poets create emotional resonance through image systems, repetition, compression, silence, pacing, and associative movement. Rather than focusing on traditional form, this class investigates how emotional pressure shapes structure and language. Through readings, discussion, prompts, and in-class writing, participants will generate new work rooted in recurring imagery, emotional tension, obsession, memory, and embodied experience. We will read work by poets such as Marie Howe, Ada Limón, Ilya Kaminsky, Sharon Olds, Aracelis Girmay, Brigit Pegeen Kelly, and Mark Doty. This workshop is ideal for poets and hybrid writers interested in creating work that feels emotionally layered, image-driven, and structurally alive.

Students react to last week’s cyber attack on the education platform Canvas. Then, immigration officials say they deported almost two dozen cruise ship crewmembers arrested last week over allegations of child sexual exploitation – although no one was charged. And, could fare gates be coming to San Diego trolley stations? Also a report on a bicycle safety course that’s part of one local elementary school’s PE program. Finally, La Mesa memorializes a police officer killed last year in the line of duty.

Few bands in American music history can match the legacy of "Chicago." Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and recipients of the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award, "Chicago" stands as one of the most successful and enduring groups of all time. With more than 100 million records sold worldwide, 21 Top 10 singles, 11 No. 1 singles, five consecutive No. 1 albums, and 25 platinum-certified records, their impact is both massive and measurable. Billboard ranked "Chicago" as the highest-charting American band in its Top 125 Artists of All Time, and they remain the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums in six consecutive decades. Signature songs like “25" or "6 to 4,” “Saturday in the Park,” “Make Me Smile,” and “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day”, helped define a generation, blending rock, pop, and jazz into a bold, horn-driven sound that became unmistakably their own. Their groundbreaking 1969 debut, "Chicago Transit Authority," was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and later added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress, recognizing its cultural and historical significance. Songwriters Robert Lamm and James Pankow were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, further cementing the band’s creative influence. "Chicago’s" accolades also include two Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, designation as Founding Artists of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and countless civic honors from cities across the country. Remarkably, "Chicago" has toured every year since forming in 1967—never missing a year. In 2025, they mark their 58th consecutive year on the road. Original members Robert Lamm, Lee Loughnane, and James Pankow continue to anchor a dynamic lineup that brings the band’s iconic horn section and beloved catalog to stages worldwide. Recent releases—including expanded anniversary editions, archival live recordings, holiday collections, and new studio work—demonstrate a band that continues to celebrate its history while staying active and engaged. From arena anthems to intimate ballads, "Chicago’s" concerts are more than performances—they’re celebrations of a catalog that has become woven into the fabric of American music. Nearly six decades in, "Chicago" remains a true ambassador for its hometown and a living testament to longevity, musicianship, and timeless songwriting.
