Course Description

Poetry is an imaginative form of writing that can be used to explore the textures and paradoxes of everyday experience. In this course, you will learn to develop a poetic sensibility, or way of seeing the world, which will serve as a catalyst for poetic composition. You will also learn how to manipulate the natural rhythms and aesthetic qualities of language to produce poems full of vivacity and emotion. You will become familiar with poetic terms and concepts that will help you articulate what makes a poem work, and you will use this knowledge to practice giving and receiving feedback on poems in a workshop setting. By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently discuss the poetic art and continue producing your own meaningful poetry.
