Hidden Gems: ENG 201 - Poetry
A man’s hand adds paint to a colorful mural that reads “POETRY.”
Do you want to learn how to interpret or create what poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge called "the best words in the best order"? Poetry is, at its core, a way to navigate our relationships with each other and ourselves. This course will introduce you to both classic and contemporary poems, teaching you the "language" of poetry. You'll use this knowledge to write effectively about individual poems and the interplay of sensory images.
Memorizing poetry will enable you to appreciate sound, rhythm, and rhyme, while crafting some poetry of your own will lead to an understanding of the creative process.
Because there is power in poetry, people have been writing poetry since the dawn of time. CCAC invites you to see for yourself and tap into this power-so seize the moment, register for this class, and make your life extraordinary!
