Introduction to Reading And Writing Poetry

Mame Willey

Thursdays, 9:30 a.m. - Noon
October 2 - November 20, 2003
D.O.C. House

Renew your acquaintanceship with old friends from Wordsworth to Robert Frost; make some new friends from Billy Collins to Charles Simic. Learn to write your own poems and read them to a supportive group of other aspiring poets. Join us for eight weeks of reading, writing and lively discussion of poetry. And join us in our ongoing attempt to answer the question: What is poetry?

Class is limited to 15 participants.

Mame Willey has taught creative writing courses at the Boston and Cambridge Centers for Adult Education, and composition courses at Bentley College, Wellesley College, and the University of Massachusetts at Boston. She received her MFA in poetry from Bennington Writing Seminars. Her poems have appeared in Cumberland Poetry Review, Anthology of New England Writers, Blueline and California Quarterly.
