Poetry helps us understand ourselves, connect with others, and express what ordinary language can’t. This course explores poetic forms from early ballads to modern styles, approaching poems as tools for reflection and communication rather than puzzles to decode. We’ll read works by writers such as Lewis Carroll, Shakespeare, Basho, Mary Oliver, Marie Howe, Rainer Maria Rike, and Nikki Giovanni, and students will experiment with forms including haiku, free verse, and confessional poetry. No experience is needed – just curiosity and a willingness to write. Readings will be emailed prior to class.
