Leonard & Celia Levand Community Room

There is a world of poetic forms and styles, that can be a little intimidating. We?ll explore a variety of poetic styles and their common elements.

From humorous limericks to structured sonnets to Japanese Haikus, there’s a vast multitude of styles of poetry, which can be a little daunting.  Learn some the forms and techniques used in poetry, maybe write some of your own.

 

Feel free to bring your own writing instrument of choice, though pen and paper will be provided, in case you're inspired.
