Had so much first at the first one we’re running it back. May 27th please save the date and come out. Everyone can read a little something and we will all hang out.
Cool Memories is now enrolling for May classes :) We are so excited to bring back our proprietary Cinema and Poetry class, featuring four iconic films and four writers bringing discussion. These classes are a great way to engage in these films and their touchy, uncomfortable themes viz-a-bioethics techniques and poetic thinking. This course is priced affordable, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. If you are interested at all, sign up.
Also, we are running our usual Sunday workshop, online.

Poems At Max Capacity:
An experiment in maximalism. This workshop will focus on the goal of making our poems more capacious. We will experiment with strategies to allow our poems to hold more: images, syntaxes, voices, forms, information, jokes. Half of class time will be dedicated to discussing works of other poets. The other half will focus on workshopping our own poems, focusing on maxing out their capacity.
Poetry Workshop with Ben Fama
In this four-week workshop students will submit poems each week, then meet and discuss. $100-200.
Cool Memories is enrolling for December classes.
Each class is capped at 8 students, and operates on a sliding scale. Link in bio!
Simone Weil “Gravity and Grace” Seminar and Workshop
In this class, we will read and write our way through Weil’s collection of notes, brought together under the title Gravity and Grace. These writings take on Simone’s thoughts on friendship, politics, love, mysticism, organized religion, prayer, and much more. We will workshop on a rotation, writing poems based on our reflections and notes. $200-300 sliding scale.
Online Poetry Workshop: Sundays in December, 12-1:30pm ET
Virtual Four Week Poetry Workshop: In this class you will write and submit a new poem each of the four weeks we meet. We’ll look at poems by published authors, and work from optional prompts. Aside from generating new writing, this course aims to build your skillset as an editor, as well as helping build a vocabulary to talk about writing. $100-200 sliding scale.
