Monday my intro to Poetry class starts. I& #39;ll use this thread to share a syllabus and share the day to day happenings in the course. If you want to follow along feel free. Subscribe to @POETSorg poem-a-day and @slowdownshow and stay tuned for more.

The class is three weeks long.

It should be fun. We& #39;ll learn as we go. This is a wildly different format then I& #39;ve taught before but hopefully it works for my students and whoever else is interested. I& #39;m thinking as far as the "lectures" I& #39;ll hop on 4 days a week or so and talk a bit about each topic...

all the readings are gonna come from online, primarily from @POETSorg and @PoetryFound so i& #39;ll post them by week and anyone who wants can read along. I& #39;ll probably do some kind of Q&A situation on instagram live and zoom twice a week where we can chop it up.

I was initially gonna do the class as a podcast and I want to work on a poetry podcast later but for now we’ll do it in a less time intensive format that’ll give me a chance to work through the content in a more informal way first.
