This six-week seminar, to be held on Zoom, is designed to fuel your inner poet and forge connections to places of inspiration. We will visit poets past and present who wrote about their own special “sense of place.” Each class will open with a short talk by John about a period of literary history with an emphasis on the lyric form. Supportive, non-judgemental suggestions will be offered concerning students’ own original creations during each meeting.

John is the author of Juvenal The Sixteen Satires, Jordan River Poems, Apicius, and many other volumes of poetry.
