Evelyn Klein 11:00 – 12:00
Have you ever wondered what poetry truly is? Is it rhyme and meter, or is it anything you want it to be? Have you ever wondered what method to use to convey your meaning? To answer these questions and more, we will discover what well-known poets and critics say. After considering brief examples, we will do exercises that enhance our ability to choose vibrant language and metaphor in poetry. Students will be guided to tap into their own pool of thought, and will have the opportunity to create their own poem.
