I loved this class. I grew so much through the author study and tried many new styles of writing, including writing in certain forms. I never would have experimented so much in my writing if it weren’t for taking this course.
The selection of poems was fantastic, the teacher was insightful, and the group of students was amazing. Everyone in the class loved poetry, was serious about learning to write poetry, and was generous in helping each other grow.
