Creative Poetry Writing
Tuesdays 7pm to 9pm
7 wks—April 15, 22, 29, May 6, 13, 20, 27
$100 member/$120non member
This is a workshop focusing on poetry and
prose poetry for writers beyond the
beginner’s stage. We will focus on
streamlining the student’s poetry into a
style that will allow readers an experience
of continuity from poem to poem. This will
also allow the poet more focus as he/she
narrows choice of subject matter and
aspects of style, i.e., line, narrative, lyric,
etc. We will learn from each other how to
transform our raw material (and our
experiences) into crafted poems and very
short pieces of prose. Some reading of
contemporary poetry will also be involved.
