It is designed to increase understanding and appreciation of all forms of poetry (traditional to free verse), with an emphasis on poets who are currently writing and giving readings. By encouraging students to discover their voice within the voices of the poems they study and write about through creative and analytical writing, they explore the fundamental components of poetry: imagery, texture and sound, voice, rhyme and repetition. With the aid of video readings and interviews, students gain insight into why and how poets pursue their craft.Usually HeldMon Tue Wed Thu 3:50pm–6:15pm
