MAH2 In-Person – Military Artistic Healing: An Introduction to Poetry through Healing

Thanks to grants and individual donations, Military Artistic Healing classes are offered at no charge. Registration is required. If you are interested in donating to the Bemis School of Art to support Military Artistic Healing and its arts programming, please call (719) 475-2444. Please note, these courses are only open to active-duty military, veterans, and their spouses. An active duty, retiree ID, or DD-214 must be presented to participate.

Level A – All levels welcome.

The potential for poetry to mend us, sometimes in small, sometimes profound ways will be our task, as well as exploring cathartic energy. We will engage with specific poetic forms such as epistolary, apostrophe, lament, and persona poetry, among others, and work with generative prompts to produce your own work. There will be opportunities to workshop the poems you produce each following week (as desired) and the course will culminate in a final full 2-hour workshop to share work from throughout the course.

Please note: By registering for this class you are agreeing to adhere to the Fine Art Center Bemis School of Art’s publicity waiver, medical waiver, and other general policies.
