Poetry Writing Level 1: 10-Week Workshop (Zoom)
Michael Montlack was excellent at introducing us to different forms of poetry in an accessible, doable way. He took our poems seriously but also had a sense of humor, which made a difference to me, since I was new to poetry and slightly intimidated by it. I intend to continue writing poems and taking poetry classes largely due to him.
