Poetry 101: Form, Imagery, and Style
This poetry seminar is customized to your skill level and the skills you would like to build! We will analyze existing poetry, write weekly poems, and discuss the foundations of the poetic language. Seminars are offered for 1 or 1.5 hours. If you are someone who needs a bit more time to think or process, or would like to write during your seminar, 1.5 hours is a great option! Ultimately, we will choose how to spend your time in a way that is most constructive and beneficial to you and your craft.
Experience subject
There is no "good" or "bad" poetry. Instead, we'll be focusing on how the poem makes you feel, what you are trying to evoke with your own craft, and how we can use language in innovative ways to capture big thoughts and deep emotions. Poetry is my form of conversation. As an introverted person, I have a difficult time expressing some of my deeper feelings, but poetry gives me the outlet to do so. If this resonates with you, or you simply want to experiment with creative writing, welcome!
