The Poetry Wheel

The Poetry Wheel is a six-week journey into the ever-turning world of poetry; where inspiration spins in and out like a revolving door. Each week, participants will explore a different poetic form, study compelling examples, and engage in generative writing exercises designed to help uncover their unique voices.

Built on curiosity and craft, the class invites students to read, write, listen, and reflect - again and again - recognizing that poems are elusive creatures, much like thoughts, memories, and dreams. The Poetry Wheel offers a space to learn how to coax these moments into the light.

By the end of the course, participants will have a collection of poem drafts in six distinct forms; each one a new spoke on their creative wheel.

This 6 week program will run on Wednesdays, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
