PRGR3006 - Finding Your Poetic Path

Course Description

Poetry can be intimidating. While often seen as adhering to strict rules, particular pacing, rhythm, and elaborate stanzas, poetry has actually evolved and adapted to our expansive, inclusive society. Poetry is no longer an unreachable ideal, but a freeway for creative expression. The new poetry embraces the heart and soul of the individual spirit. This class will help you learn to observe the details of life and bring the magical texture of existence to the page. 

There will always be room on lauded shelves for iambic pentameter or the taut brevity of Haiku, but the constant change of the modern world has unshackled the imagination like never before. Writing poetry is the best way to improve your creative writing skills.
