Wordplay in Poetry
2730 Historic Decatur Road, Barracks 16 #202, San Diego, 92106
Cost: $45 - $54
The art of wordplay has been employed by countless writers over the storied history of writing. If you’re paying attention, that sentence is a perfect example of wordplay. In this class, we’ll explore the meaning and usage of wordplay in poetry using work from 20th-century authors such as Lewis Carroll, Shel Silverstein, and Oscar Wilde. We’ll then attempt to create our own poetic wordplay inspired and drawn from examples studied in class. With Adam Greenfield.
