In this class, poet Jane Huffman will address the primary craft tools that drive her poetry practice, using poems from her forthcoming book, Dilemma (Vanderbilt University Press, 2027) as teaching tools. She will focus on leveraging slant rhyme and other sonic devices, resisting narrative resolution without totally losing the plot, practicing various formal structures (including “prosemetric” forms, those which contain both verse and prose), and developing what Stefan Wolp calls “traffic sense.”

Jane Huffman’s debut collection, PUBLIC ABSTRACT, won the 2023 APR/Honickman First Book Prize, selected by Dana Levin. Buy a copy of PUBLIC ABSTRACT here. Jane is a doctoral student in poetry at the University of Denver and is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. She founded and was editor-in-chief of Guesthouse, an online literary journal, for seven years, and is currently Associate Editor for Denver Quarterly. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, Poetry, The Nation, and elsewhere. She was a 2019 recipient of the Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Fellowship from the Poetry Foundation.
