STUDENT FEEDBACK
EIGHT PRISON-BREAKS WITH DAVID SHIELDS
"It just doesn't get better than hearing directly from people making great work. David Shields talking about how to make things. I don't think anyone understands other people's process, or their own, better than he does."

READING THE DREAM SONGS WITH JOE WENDEROTH
"The fact that this course closely focuses on a single author and text, reading poem by poem, allows for a slow and deep concentration, almost rumination, that I’ve not experienced before. The advanced level of textual examination and instruction by authors of this caliber is essentially nonexistent outside of a university. The variety of students, too, is unlike any course I’ve taken in the past. It’s a classroom of authors and critics and students. The range in age, past writing experience, and reason for joining this course, makes for far broader and more interesting readings of the text."

'I am interested in pedagogy outside the increasingly jaundiced, hidebound and captured institutions of academia. Impracticum offers this alternative with a rigor, sophistication and, dare I say: grown-up composure that the former lacks.'
