Have you ever wanted to try your hand at poetry but didn’t know where to start? Are you a newbie poet who’s ready to learn more about the genre? If so, this National Poetry Month workshop is for you! In this four-week class, we will review the history of poetry, study contemporary poets and their craft, and review different poetic forms, including prose, lists, lyrical and narrative, and more. Using these texts and forms for inspiration, we will write and give poetic form to our own experiences and dreams. Participants will receive light feedback and resources to keep them writing.
