For those wanting to study poetry for the first time…

Once again, I am teaching Poetry: Introduction at the University of Toronto's School of Continuing Studies. I just finished my first semester leading this online course last week, and it went even better than I'd hoped. I got fantastic feedback from the students, many of whom felt their whole view of poetry had exponentially expanded.

The course is based on 10 asynchronous lessons, and bolstered by four (I might change it to five) live online workshops.

Within the loose restrictions of the prescribed learning outcomes, I was able to create the course and choose the textbooks and other readings myself.

You can take Poetry: Introduction from anywhere in the world (though if you're in Dubai, as one of last semester's students was, those live workshops will start at 3 in the morning!).

The next semester begins on May 10. Here's all the info.

Over and out.
