Short poems can say it all!
A continuation of the popular class, “big things in small packages,” though it’s also open to those who haven’t yet taken that class. We will explore the possibilities of saying a lot in a very few words. You will read a number of short poems, learn some new forms, and write five or six new poems over the two weeks.
