Introduction To Poetry (35838)

Presented by:  Jerry Austin

Class begins in less than 2 business days or is already in session... Please call 425.640.1243 or email comed@edmonds.edu to register.

A beginners’ poetry workshop, where both the instructor and students are welcome to comment on poems composed by students. The focus is one of encouragement, building on a writer’s strengths, and helping the student become increasingly able as a poet. Some easily learned language skills will also be introduced. The instructor is open to a wide variety of styles and hopes to have students develop their own individual voices. NOTE: Students should send their poems one week before the class begins to comed@edmonds.edu so they can be forwarded to the instructor.
