Ever wanted to bring your imagination and dreams to a state of logic and reason? Melting art, psychology, philosophy, and so much more, surrealism makes those links possible. Through this 3 hour course, you will 

• practice, analyze, and borrow from automatic and traditional surrealist writing

• be exposed to the poetic toolbox and how it aids in contemporary uses

• learn the value of intentional distortion and how it differs from being avant-garde

• make palpable connections between what’s real and true about the world and the absurdities from beyond 

There will be plenty of opportunities to discuss, read, generate new writing, and even revise some old! You will walk away with something to continue—ways to brainstorm and create new ideas, methods to increase your poetic prowess, and permission to be strange and illogical, golden with treasures that beckon you seamlessly through and out of the dark. This course is for you if you enjoy exploration, risk-taking, and bending all the rules. Further develop your craft. Deepen your poetic psyche. Enter the scope of strange masters and literary wizards, come out with your own conjured world.
