Poetry for Everyone

Find your poetic voice in this 90-minute session. Students will learn how to express themselves through several types of poetry. We’ll read some poems, look at how they are constructed and discuss how to generate ideas for poems. We’ll try out some fun creativity experiments. Each student will have the opportunity to write at least one poem of their own. The instructor will provide prompts and instructions for a variety of poetry forms.

The fee for the workshop is $35. Class size is limited to 20 attendees.
