WHAT DOES IT MEAN? READING, UNDERSTANDING, AND LOVING POETRY

Haven't read a poem since you were in high school? Wish you could better understand the poems that are being written today? Poet Sue Ellen Thompson shows participants how to approach a poem in a way that will make its meaning more accessible. By looking closely at poems written by living American poets, learn how to appreciate the craft involved and, more importantly, how poetry can confirm, inspire, entertain, and console.
