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.
