If you’ve never written poetry, this course is for you. Here’s what you’ll learn: 1) Poetry takes less time to write than other types of fiction. 2) You don’t need special training or education. 3) Benefits to writing include: creative satisfaction, emotional healing, and engagement with other writers.

In this course, I’ll provide guidance on how to write poems using simple tools. Usually, beginners are intimidated by the blank page. Do you need to use rhyme? What is meter and form, and how strictly do you need to adhere to them? IMPORTANT: read poetry every day, ideally from multiple poets to charge your batteries!
