For most of us, poetry is intimidating. We may have memories of feeling uncomfortable in our school encounters with poetry. Humanities scholar Clay Jenkinson marks National Poetry Month by offering ways for those who are new to the form to approach poetry with comfort, confidence, and joy. For those who know poetry well, he provides a  reminder of why good poetry is so satisfying—and necessary to a healthy civilization.

After learning how to approach poetry, participants in the April 14 How to Read a Poem lecture have the option to take part in a smaller-capacity, interactive group discussion on the great works presented by Jenkinson.

Note that this program is only available when registering for the 2-session series. This special discussion is not available for individual sale.
