Event Details

This is the second quarter of a one semester (12-week) creative writing course featuring poetry. Mid-semester enrollment is welcome.  In addition to rhyme and meter and many poetic forms, we will also study figures of speech and poetic devices. We will focus on experimenting with varied methods of poetic expression, and students will be free to choose their own subject-matter. Although the concepts learned will build from one lesson to the next, most weeks will consist of stand-alone assignments. One goal will be to produce a class literary magazine at the end of the semester.  Weekly homework will vary but should average about 1 hour per week. No grades will be issued. In the event of further library closures, the class will be taught via Zoom.

The cost is $72 per 6-week session, plus a one-time, non-refundable $15 supplies/services fee due upon enrollment. There is no curriculum to purchase; age-appropriate printed materials are provided.  Payments made after the first day of class (any session) are subject to a $10 late fee per week.  Please remember that your registration is not official until you have completed payment to the instructor, Daryl Kessler.
