Putative poetry always includes the cry of dissent from voices of diversity, insisting on justice from pens that ring bells of passion and truth. This class for beginning and seasoned poets will weave words in the framework of American values: inclusion, tolerance, empathy, and respect, like the confluence of many rivers that, once joined, flow to the sea, e.g. the title of a recent poem of Jim Moreno’s was “The Ocean Refuses No Rivers”. First time poets to this class can benefit from poetry film clips where Palestinian and Pakistani poets read inspiring poems reflecting the above values. In addition, Jim loves reading poems to his classes that have inspired him from poets who write with passion, image & imagination. You will leave this class after writing two original poems, guided by poetry prompts, adequate writing time and reading time. Add a bibliography of literature resources included to give you hours of interesting reading and listening after the class is done.
