To begin class, we'll go outside to the benches and engage in a listening exercise. You'll complete the prompts on the page in the space of about 15 minutes.
Since we are all poets, I suggest that we up the ante by not only writing down sound observations, but form them into a poetic line.
We will then go back upstairs and complete a second listening exercise where we'll try to hear the "music" of Carl Jung and of Ellen Bass.

Jung in Action: Making the Unconcious Conscious
This weekend, after listening to Alan Soldofsky's lecture, and the "music" of Jung's language, I channeled poetic "music" into two forms. 1) a poem, and 2) traced a serendipitous loop by first connecting the dots between a series of poetic links on the subject of Lynda Hull and then screen capturing the actual evidence I could find. By placing it here, I've attempted to "make the unconscious conscious," which feels like much of what we do as poets.
