April is National Poetry Month, a perfect time to write poems! In this four-session course, you’ll be challenged to draft one new poem each week for an entire month. We’ll do so as a community, holding each other accountable for writing consistently and forming weekly habits. Each week, you’ll have the chance to share work with your peers and receive feedback in “mini-workshop” conversations. Through writing exercises and reading examples, we’ll discuss where to find inspiration and how to stay motivated every week despite our busy lives. This course is perfect for anyone looking for the motivation to write poems more often with the support of other writers looking to do the same.
