Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this kids writing class:

We read, we write, we look, we listen, we share, we play. We need to play with words to master them. Here you’ll find lots of freedom to explore the most creative and fun form of writing, Poetry. Poetry helps us process and make sense of our experiences. The poetry toolbox contains traditional literary devices to hammer thoughts into shape, as well as a more mysterious element, an alchemy that changes sound and meaning into magic. 

In this workshop, students will see that approaching writing playfully has very serious results. Using ideas and techniques we encounter reading master poets such as Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes, May Swenson and Wislawa Szymborska, students will approach writing inspired by language games, traditional forms, and imitation-of and response-to master poems.

This workshop is designed both for reluctant writers looking to find joy in the subject, as well as avid writers who want to be encouraged and challenged.

Refund Policy

Refund is allowed; 90% refund up to the first class. If student does not like the class, they may transfer to another class if space is available. Refund after the second class will be 50% based on a pro-rated basis, decreasing by 10% with consecutive classes.
