Fundamentals of Poetry Writing
Poetry writing is a very personal art form; at its best it flows freely from the heart and soul of the poet. But poetry writing also has stylistic conventions and rhythmic patterns that—once understood and mastered—can enhance the emotional content of your verse with design and structure.
In this workshop, you will gain a working knowledge of the basic poetic forms and the fundamental techniques of writing both rhymed and free verse. But this is not a class for beginners —it is for more experienced poets looking to take their work to the next level through a thorough understanding of classical poetic structures and techniques. This workshop encourages personal discovery and the development of individual poetic “voice” through the use of directed exploration, hands-on writing exercises, and constructive critical feedback from a professional, published poet. When you have completed the workshop, you will have developed a body of poetic work based on significant personal experiences.
