Subject: Judy Hogan Teaches a poetry/prose class Jan 12-Mar16.
POETIC PROSE/PROSE POETRY. Judy Hogan, who has been teaching creative writing for 40 years in the Triangle area, will offer a 10-week poetry/fiction course Mondays, 7-9 PM, January 12-March 16, 2015, at the Biofuels Kitchen in Pittsboro. Participation by Skype is also possible with this course if students prefer to study from home. We will read Marcel Proust’s “Combray” section of his first volume of In Search of Lost Time, which is found in Vol. I, Swann’s Way and Virginia Woolf’s poetic novel, The Waves. Both poets and fiction writers at any stage are welcome. Students may work on independent projects, or use Hogan’s assignments related to the reading. These readings will be especially helpful for writers to use more and better imagery whether in their poetry or fiction. The course will cost $150 to those attending in Pittsboro, and $180 to those who wish for Judy’s notes and/or their writings to be mailed.
Judy has published six volumes of poetry and two mystery novels. She has taught both Proust and Woolf many times and found that they improve students’ writing immensely.
Writing with Judy Hogan is a rare opportunity! I’ve taken several classes with Judy in various contexts – community college classes, workshops, year-long classes writing and studying Proust and Virginia Woolf – and my poetry has been profoundly effected. Judy is “old school” in her emphasis on the Classics and her fierce and uncompromising dedication to following one’s Muse. I feel that, under Judy’s influence, my poetry evolved from a student’s murmuring to a confident voice. She has been my most steadfast supporter for finding my own way – and the clearest voice admonishing that the way is not easy!
