Wordcraft - Elements of poetry

In this course, we will explore how to read poetry and seek inspiration, learn about rhythm, imagery and poetic tools. The course, tutored by Katja Knezvic, consists of five 3-hour classes. Each class is centred around one key aspect of poetry writing (eg, form, imagery, etc), and at each class you will be presented with literary theory and examples, writing prompts, and structured exercises. The purpose of the course is not to prescribe the one right way to write poetry, but provide you with a set of creative tools to work on the craft and apply it to both poetry and prose writing.
