Course description:

Through reading, writing, and workshopping, students in this course will come to appreciate formal poetry with maturity and insight. We will study form, meter, rhythm, rhyme, imagery, and metaphor. Students will have reading and writing homework, and they will receive in-depth written feedback on their work from the teacher. In their final class, students will share (as they choose) their work with the group, "open mic" style; everyone will be encouraged to wear their best poet outfits (think: black turtlenecks, berets) and drink beverage out of mugs, as if they're hanging out in their favorite indie café.

Price is in USD.
