Harjo-Sapulpa, J	Part of Term: B Date Range: 10/19/15-12/09/15 Section Title: Writ Contemp Indigenous Poetry Section Info: Topic Section OL1: Creative Writing with Readings in Contemporary Indigenous Poetry This is a poetry-writing workshop with an introduction to North American and Pacific Indigenous poetry. Most indigenous cultures remain very close to the power of the word because of the continued presence and use of oral literary forms in everything from history to song language. Songs and song language can make things happen, everything from rain, to a successful hunting or fishing expedition, or to securing a lover. This is not some long ago and faraway notion. It is occurring now. We are still present and here. We write and sing in our tribal languages, and we use what are essentially the trade languages of English, French, Spanish, and others. Therefore poetry remains a powerful force. It is the language of truth-telling, magic, and observations of the intimate and everyday, and can happen in the style of a narrative or lyric. This class will meet online with the exception of 3 face-to-face meetings - 10/20, 11/10, and 12/1.
