Public classes are a great way to begin and continue your writing education. You learn the basics of writing and critiquing, have your work professionally critiqued, and work in a writers group in a friendly environment. Many participants find great writing partners and fresh inspiration. Also classes are reasonably priced, and you get to "test drive" the writing teacher.

SPEAKING POETRY

Poetry is not just words on a page. It is the rhythms, phrasing and word choices that give life to writing. These are important tools for every writer, not just poets.

This introductory course is good for both beginning poetry students or those wanting to augment their writing. Topics covered: giving/receiving criticism, meter, metaphor, line, and image. We will experiments with many forms, such as haiku, ballad, sonnet, and share our work in a constructive setting.
