This is a poetry writing class for all levels. Each week we begin with a short writing exercise, then we look at a poem I have selected to discuss and analyze. I will have chosen an aspect of that poem for class members to think about as they write their own poem to be shared with the class the next week.

I emphasize positive comments to help the poets/participants know what is successful about their work. I like to think it’s fun, and we always learn a lot from each other.
