IN PERSON: Are you ready to share your poems in an encouraging writing community? Poetry Forum will help new and established writers sharpen their work while providing inspiration for new poems as well as guidelines for publishing. Participants will bring copies of their poems each week to share around the table. We will take turns reading, offering feedback and receiving feedback. We will discuss, craft and hone our skills of critique while deepening our understanding of the elements of poetry. Participants will be invited to reach out to the instructor between sessions with questions and ideas for additional topics. Sessions will include prompts for in-class freewriting time to generate new ideas. Participants will also receive a prompt for work between sessions. Bring your favorite pen and a notebook! | Facilitated discussion, Active Skill Learning.
