Writing Workshop: Mixed Levels Poetry Class

Poetry I/II (with Elline Lipkin in Pasadena)
Saturdays, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
April 20, 2013 to June 15, 2013 (no class 5/25)


This 8-week mixed-levels class is designed to immerse students in the power and pleasure of poetry. Each week students will consider a particular theme through an in-class writing exercise, read examples of other poems, and be given an assignment sheet of poetry prompts to use during the week. Students will explore different types of poetic forms, practice using a variety of writing techniques, and offer feedback on each other’s work. This class is an opportunity for students to explore the art and craft of poetry at any level with the chance to experiment with words and feel inspired.


This course will take place in Pasadena, where coffee and sparkling water—and the occasional assortment of breakfast pastries—will be served.
