Writing the Short Poem with Donna Hilbert

This four-week class is a generative workshop with the target of writing poems of no more than 14 lines. We will consider what formal elements might heighten the impact of free verse and will look at what makes a poem memorable: first lines, last lines, music, meaning.

Class meets in person Tuesdays, 6 – 8 pm:

• May 2
• May 9
• May 16
• May 23

Class size: Limited to 12. Minimum 5.
