"Go" Date: February 2, 2010 at 9 am
The "go" date is the date at which WCA determines whether there are enough students or not to run the class. If this is a class you are interested in, please be sure to enroll before the "Go" date (and encourage your friends to do so as well) so that we can be sure to run the class! We will notify you at the end of the business day on the "GO" date if the class is to be cancelled so that you can make other plans for that date, but ideally, we'll see you at the class!
Write Your Heart. . . . .
In this three-hour class we will read together and discuss poems that speak to the heart from the hearts of a few well-known poets, such as ee cummings, Pablo Neruda, and current United States Poet Laureate, Kay Ryan.
We will also learn and practice together some ways to tap into our own deep feelings and unique experiences and to write about these in the simple, clear language of the lyric poem. We will end the class by sharing our writing in a supportive community of readers and writers.
