Little Poems: Sappho to the Beatles

The Newberry @ 60 W Walton St, Chicago, IL

Poetry has persisted since time immemorial. In this class, you’ll explore this enduring form of human expression in its many different forms. Most of us experience literature for the first time in the form of a “little poem.” Long before we’ve tasted solid food, we’ve heard a soothing lullaby sung by a parent, and before we start school, we’ve already accumulated a storehouse of nursery rhymes.

  • Poetry Writing Level 1: 10-Week Workshop (Online)

    Anonymous review on 12/14/2017
    Michael Montlack was excellent at introducing us to different forms of poetry in an accessible, doable way. He took our poems seriously but also had a sense of humor, which made a difference to me, since I was new to poetry and slightly intimidated by it. I intend to continue writing poems and taking poetry classes largely due to him.
