email class with Sage Cohen starts March 11
Have you always wanted to write a poem but didn’t know how to begin? Maybe you’re already writing poetry and want to connect with your muse more often or brush up on your poetic prowess? Poetry for the People takes poetry off of its academic pedestal, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
Facilitated by award-winning poet Sage Cohen, Poetry for the People will introduce new ways of expressing yourself in poetry and appreciating the poetry you read. Each week’s lesson will include a mix of:
* Inspiration: sample, published poems that illustrate the topic of the week
* Craft tips: simple instruction about image, sound, rhythm, metaphor, etc.
* Exercises: process and content prompts to get you writing
* Publication ideas: tips about how and where to submit your work for publication
You’ll be inspired (but not required) to write a poem a day!
