School’s Back in Session: Poetry Classes
It touches just about everyone. If not you or one of your family members, then it may just be the extra influx of traffic on your morning commute. So, why not start thinking how you can expand your poetry education. There are many ways to do this free or at low cost.
LOCALLY
-Look into your local parks and recreation center. Most classes you find are low cost, but some can be free or the first one is free.
-Many high schools house adult education classes, which can include poetry classes and workshops.
-Your local library. Not only do they have books and magazines on poetry, they can sometimes offer workshops.
-College. Yes there are traditional classes, but look deeper and find other opportunities to learn poetry at a local college. At our local college they have workshops for the community—which sometimes include poetry workshops.
-Local fine arts councils may also have poetry classes and workshops.
ONLINE
-This Poetry newsletter—but you already knew that because you’re here.
-This website. You can find writing groups, articles and more. Here's a few I found:
Here's one that ended in April, but maybe she can be convinced to bring it back again next year:
- http://www.open.edu/openlearn/free-courses has some free poetry classes.
-Here’s a free poetry course from Yale: http://oyc.yale.edu/english/engl-310
-And one from MIT: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/comparative-media-studies-writing/21w-756-writing-and...
-A list of current and access to past courses at the University of Iowa: http://iwp.uiowa.edu/iwp-courses/distance-learning-courses/moocs
-Here’s one from Saylor Academy: https://legacy.saylor.org/engl404/Intro/
-EdX.org has 14 listed here: https://www.edx.org/course?search_query=poetry
-The Open Education Database has over 30 listed here: http://oedb.org/open/search-results/?search-term=poetry
-Here’s one taught by a former poet laureate at Boston University: http://www.bu.edu/today/2014/robert-pinsky-art-of-poetry/
-And 11 can currently be found here at coursera.org: https://www.coursera.org/courses?query=poetry
- http://www.poetryfoundation.org/ From articles to podcasts, this website has loads of ways to expand your poetry knowledge.
-Study.com has some courses that include poetry. They have a 5 day free trial, then it’s a pay by month. One pay option gives you college credits, if you’re looking for those as part of a class.
