Have fun with words through reading and writing poems. We will have a look at the words, images, themes and sounds of poems by Maya Angelou, William Butler Yeats, Emily Dickinson, Allen Ginsberg, William Shakespeare and others. Playing with the ideas and approaches of these poets, we will experiment with writing our own words, and if we feel like calling them poems, then that will be a bonus. (Poems will be distributed to students before the class.)
