Description
By learning the elements of effective poetry craft and reading and discussing exceptional examples, we will significantly develop our talent for writing poetry. Each week we will focus on one of the following themes: sound and musicality, metaphor and simile, titles and opening lines, line length and line breaks, and stanza division. The last third of each class will be devoted to constructive workshopping of students’ poems. Numerous handouts will inspire our writing. Beginning and experienced poets welcome. Limited to eight.
