Foundations of Poetry

Interested in poetry but don’t know where to start? In this session, we’ll discuss four key elements of poetry: image, sound, form and realization. We’ll engage with hands-on exercises to start practicing these elements in our own writing. Writers with all levels of experience are welcome.
