Daytime Poetry Workshop

Poetry is a great way to explore different themes and situations in our lives and in the world around us. We will read and talk about poems based on a previously determined "poetic idea" each week. Poems will be presented written by a range of poets, from Walt Whitman to Rita Dove and many others—both modern and from the past. We will share what we like about the poem's construction and ideas, and focus on various poetic devices and types of poems chosen by participants. We will write and read our poems, and the instructor will also present information about exploring and sharing poetry in print, online, and at venues in the community. Discounts or waivers do not apply.
