Learn to develop your poetic voice. We’ll read and examine several types of poems like internal monologues, epistolary poems, and elegies, written in a variety of voices, tones, and styles. You’ll practice constructing and critiquing your poems with an emphasis on developing a recognizable voice, and create work with interesting speakers and tone that connect strongly with readers.

  • Students should bring something to write with.
