Poetry Masters Series

Learn from--and be inspired by--the greatest poets of the 20th and 21st centuries!

Imitation isn't only the sincerest form of flattery; it's also a great way to get out of your comfort zone as a writer. In each session, we'll focus on the work of ONE influential poet. We'll read and discuss a few of their signature poems and then write original pieces that draw on the same themes and/or stylistic influences. We'll wrap up with informal small group workshopping.
