College of Poetry - Register Now for Summer Classes! The morning class (10 am - 12 pm), A Waking Dream: Learning from the Romantics will be taught by William Seaton. The ideas and writing practices of Wordsworth, Shelley, Byron and the other English Romantics underlie much of today’s poetry. Through reading of the Romantics and exercises based on reactions (either imitation, conscious avoidance, or something more complex) workshop participants will develop a deep understanding of the meaning of Romanticism and of its relevance to tomorrow’s poem. The afternoon class (1:30 - 3:30 pm) will be broken up into two part - 4 week sessions, the first entitled The Poet's Voice (july 10-july 31) , focused on Public Recitation, Public Speaking Skills and Overcoming Stage Fright. The class will be taught by Robert Milby. The second workshop in the two part series will be taught by instructor Irene O'Garden and is called SOUNDING YOUR DEPTHS Sonic Joy On Page and Stage. It is a 4-week course designed to strengthen sonic presence in both your writing and your public readings. You'll explore sound and intention, practice writing for the ear, and learn simple techinques to enhance your open mic.
