What We Don't, What We Can't, What We Never, What Is Not

We’re often told to write what we know, what we remember, what we do or want, what we see, what we think and believe ourselves to be. In this class, we'll look at what can happen in a poem when we place "don't" or "never" or "can't" or "not" in front of our verbs. What we don't know, what we can't remember, what we don't do, what we are not, don't want, how we don't know what we think or believe. We'll look at how other poets make use of negation to find the poems that are ours to write.
