Poetry II (6 sessions)

In this six-week workshop, participants will explore some of the key elements of poetry?imagery, metaphor, sound, rhythm, tone, and voice. We?ll investigate how these elements work together and will read and discuss some classic and contemporary poems to see what is effective and why. Through in-class exercises and at-home assignments, students will experiment with these components in their own work and can expect to create several drafts and perhaps a couple of finished poems.
