Page Against the Machine: A Generative Poetry Workshop
Guaranteed Seats for Alumni Only
About the class
How can we write with and against technology? In this generative poetry workshop, we’ll explore what is typically “unpoetic,” such as our daily interactions with things like digital tools, personal computers, or online systems, and use what emerges as material for making poems that account for everyday life and the contemporary self and perhaps use the language of browsers, apps, widgets, malware and more to make poems that critique techno-capitalist empire. No experience needed; just an open mind!

Ticket Selection Guide
Use the guide below to select a ticket level based on your access to resources. Tickets are limited, so choose thoughtfully based on your circumstances. The guidelines aren’t prescriptive—pick what feels right for you.
Redistribution
If you're an ally wanting to give a tax-deductible gift, a professional with tuition covered by a $1M+ organization, or self-paying with a $100K+ salary, inherited wealth, no debt, or can meet basic needs without working.
Full tuition
If you're a professional employed by an organization with a budget under $1M covering tuition or buying your own ticket and can afford basic needs, earn $75K+, have manageable debt, higher education, or family assets like a home or retirement fund.
Payment Plan
If you can’t afford to pay full tuition in one installment, we offer payment plans in 4 monthly payments of $250 (for 5-week classes) or $300 (for 10-week classes).
Scholarship
Unfortunately, we can't guarantee seats for alumni who need scholarships. If you need a scholarship, you must submit an application along with the rest of the applicant pool. Submit an application by April 27th at 11:59pm ET.
You qualify for a scholarship if you have difficulty consistently covering basic living expenses, lack savings, are unable to keep up with debt payments, don’t have access to higher education or are the first in your family to attend college, or your income supports others.
