Imposter Monster: Poetry For Beginners (Five Week Poetry Seminar)

Are you new to the study of poetry? Maybe you think it’s all rhyme and meter, you have a bad taste in your mouth from grade school, or you’ve always been poetry-curious but a little too afraid to try. This workshop is for you! We will take a look at our own individual ideas of what poetry is (versus the industry or academy); the basics of poetry (line, white space, what rhyme and meter have historically been used for); and how you might redefine your own relationship to poetic writing. Online, via Zoom, every Monday from 4-5:30 pm PST. (5/3, 5/10, 5/17, 5/24, 5/31).
