About the event
Love is in the air! In this six-session writing workshop (every Tuesday from 7pm to 9pm), I'll be sharing strategies for writing sonnets and villanelles while studying classical and contemporary examples of both forms. By building skills and confidence around rhymed couplets, metered stanzas, and the exhilarating use of repetition, this course aims to empower students to personalize and practice two traditional (and popular) poetic forms. After six weeks, students will leave with a couple of brand new original poems -- just before Valentine's Day... All levels are welcome.
