Explore your poetic prowess and write the amazing poetry you've always wished you could. This course on poetry writing will teach you more than just how to write a poem. First, you will learn about the history of poetry, what makes a poet a poet, and where poets might find their inspiration. Next, the course dissects the concepts that help us understand poetry. After breaking down the various literary devices used in a poem, the course walks you through the process of analyzing a poem to see how those literary devices work. Next, you'll have the opportunity to look at sound patterns in poetry and the different types of poems you may encounter or may want to attempt to write yourself. Writing Exercises Throughout the course, you'll have the opportunity to write your own poetry with guided writing exercises. As you learn the skills every great poet must understand, you'll be asked to write poems that leverage these new skills. Share your poems with the rest of the class and get feedback on your work. Who Should Take This Course Many of you who take this course may have written some poetry in the past, but having written poetry is not a requirement for this course. Anyone can take this course without ever having written a word and come out with an understanding of how to write great poetry. About The Author - Jennifer Chesak I'm a freelance adventure writer, editor and ghostwriter with a cornucopia of quirky clips to showcase my 12-years of experience. Since receiving my Master of Science in Journalism from Northwestern's Medill School or Journalism, I've covered a wild gamut: bank robberies with ensuing high-speed chases, cross-country motorcycle adventures, free dives with sharks, fishing excursions at remote northern outposts and simply must-try crazy cuisine and cocktails. If you need copy to wow your readers or an entire book spruced, goosed and juiced, I'm your gal! An avid journal keeper for much of my life, I believe writing in any form and at any age is a powerful self-development tool that can prompt healing and facilitate the ongoing process of discovering and rediscovering one's self. I am passionate about helping others grasp the writer within and achieve the satisfaction of creative thinking and production. When I'm not tethered to pen and notebook, I can be found training for my next marathon.
