Join poet Ciona Rouse this National Poetry Month in a 4-week course exploring elements of poetry and the art of close reading by looking at one poem in six different ways. Find out what makes the clock of a poem tick! Rouse will offer writing prompts alongside each poetry fundamental. It's a perfect class for the writer who desires to become a stronger reader of poetry and, therefore, strengthen their craft, or for the non-writing reader who wants to spend this national poetry month learning how to be with a poem.
