Poetry Writing
Consider it the caviar of literature: tiny eggs with tremendous taste. Or the nitro glycerin: every drop explosive. Poetry has inspired the human soul for thousands of years and there are those who still treasure its magnificence. If you hear mermaids singing or feel the winnowing wind or see the sun rising in ribbons then you are one of these happy few. In this One-Day, you will learn to manipulate sound, imagery, meter, and line into well-crafted poems and you will improve your precision by experimenting with various time-tested forms. You will also learn how and where to market your work.
