May 10 through July 5

Poetry Workshop

Even T. S. Eliot and e. e. cummings didn’t get it right the first time. Crafting poetry that’s compelling, effective and resonant takes hard work and the ability to critically evaluate your drafts along the way. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll examine the elements that distinguish poetry from prose. You and your classmates will workshop student poetry in an online workshop environment and make revisions based on critiques.

By studying published examples, you’ll improve your use of image, metaphor and symbolism, your execution of mechanics such as line breaks, pacing, rhythm and sound as well as work on making meaning and using poetic forms. Use this workshop to propel your poetry toward greater discovery and, ultimately, publication.

When:

Enroll now through May 10 and complete by July 5.
