Poetry Camp: How to Write a Ghazal

Class
Lupita Eyde-Tucker
Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(27)
Ghazals are an ancient form of poetry that is popular with contemporary poets. In this class, students will read a wide selection of ghazals by important poets, and learn how to write their own. This is an advanced generative poetry camp.

Class experience

In this class students will:

- gain exposure to famous poets of the American cannon who are writing ghazals
- read amazing ghazals written by important poets
- learn history of this ancient poetic form
- explore how the elements of the ghazal make this form unique
- learn how to incorporate these elements into their own ghazals
- write three brand new ghazals in response to three different prompts!
- receive instructor feedback on their ghazals
- grow as creative writers
I am a poet, translator, and an educator, and my goal with this class is to encourage and inspire young people to develop a creative writing practice. It's something I wish I had as a young writer!

Here's a little bit about me:

Lupita Eyde-Tucker writes poetry in English and Spanish. The winner of the 2019 Betty Gabehart Prize for Poetry, her poems have recently appeared in Nashville Review, The Acentos Review, The Florida Review, Raleigh Review, Asymptote, Columbia Journal, The Arkansas International, Yemassee, Pilgrimage, and Chautauqua. She is currently translating two collections of poetry by Venezuelan poet Oriette D'Angelo.  Lupita will be a Staff Scholar at Bread Loaf Translators Conference this summer, and will begin working towards an MFA in Poetry at the University of Florida in fall 2020. Her chapbook, Creek Lover, was published in October 2019. Lupita and her husband homeschool their children in Florida. Read more of her poems at: www.NotEnoughPoetry.com
Students will need a notebook or place to write and store their poems digitally.
I will provide a handout with information to refer to during the week.
This class is designed to be a safe place for creative writers and artists. 

When selecting poems to study, I do not choose poems with overt sexuality or violence. I also do not choose poems which contain or allude to situations such as drug use, pornography, or self-harm.

Having said that, occasionally a poem may have a bad word. While I default to use poems without bad language, there may be a poem or two with one bad word in it. However, there will not be any words beyond what you would hear on prime time network television.

In my live class I do not allow the use of bad words, and if one of the readings contains a bad word, I will say a few things in our live class to address that choice by the poet.
