Exploring New Poems with Amy Holman (via Zoom)


This class is designed to inspire and support poets who want to return to writing, try new ideas, and refine their voices, whether for their own pleasure or to share with the public through readings and publication. It is open to beginning and emerging poets. The new poems in this class are both those you will write and those we will read from literary journals and poetry books. Amy Holman will offer any interested students suggestions for publication of their new poems at the end of the six week session, although interest in publication is neither the focus nor a requirement for taking this class.

This class series will be taught via Zoom. It will begin on Thursday, January 20 and meet for six consecutive Thursdays, ending on Thursday, February 24. The Zoom link will be emailed at the time of registration (please check spam) and again on the day before the class session begins. Please email admin@writerscenter.org with any questions.
Registration is $370 at:
