Explore the techniques, imagery, and
lyrical power of one of the most influential songwriters of the modern
age. This unique course examines the writing of
Bob Dylan and explores how his approach to language, imagery,
storytelling, and poetic expression can inspire and inform your own
creative work. Through close reading, discussion, guided
study, and practical writing exercises, participants will investigate
the techniques that have helped make Dylan one of the most significant
voices in popular music and contemporary culture. The course is designed for poets,
songwriters, and anyone interested in the craft of creative writing. About the Course Over the course of his long and influential
career, Bob Dylan has continually reinvented his style while producing a
