Spend three afternoons thinking about poetry with Nils Peterson. This time he looks at three poets and poems of three types. If your muse speaks, there will be time for your words to be heard. It would be good to read the poems beforehand. We will provide you with copies. Here are the poets Peterson has selected:
- Poems of the Ordinary--Billy Collins
- Poems of Sexual Politics--Adrienne Rich
- Poems of the Deep Image--Robert Bly
