What you'll learn
Poetry knows no border and is only interested in what can be divined on the other side of any arbitrary “line in the sand.”
In this 4-week course we will develop a small portfolio inspired by forms of poetry that come to us from different parts of the globe.
Forms such as haibun, eintou and the abecederian will not be dogma, but encouraged to be used in the creation of inspired poems and even inventive new forms!
Wednesdays, 5:30 pm-7:30 pm PDT 7/9, 7/16, 7/23, 7/30 Enrollment: $300 early bird pricing / $350 after 6/1
