Class Description: May's fun energy and creative expertise will provide an interactive and supportive environment for the creatively curious poet. Elements of poetry will include sense imagery, metaphor, simile, sound, voice, line and stanza breaks, rhythm, and formal (but always fun and adventurous) poetic forms. May's democratic use of student and teacher prompts will inspire in-class writing and reading sessions. This class will get the creative juices flowing and help poets translate the everyday world they we live in into surprising combinations of words and images.
