This poetry writing workshop will expand students' ideas of poetry and poetic forms. Students will be given different writing prompts to try out to create new poems during the class. They will also get to share their poetry written both in and out of class time with their peers to receive feedback on their work in a traditional (but online) writing workshop atmosphere. 

Each week's class session will be broken up into 15 minutes of in-class writing and 45 minutes of workshopping poetry shared by students in the class. If the class size is ever too small for this setup, extra writing and revision activities will be given to accommodate workshopping times.

Students who take this class should already have an interest in poetry, but it is not required that they have work ready to share for workshopping prior to joining the class. The majority of this class will be based on writing activities and discussion. Due to this setup, each week's lesson will be different and learner-directed.
