Wired on Poetry – with DC

On-line poetry course with DC Reid. Emphasis will be on working on your poems to make them sing. Individual comments from DC will aim to give you a valuable new perspective on how to take your poems to the next level. Poets will all have published in many literary magazines and be working on a full-length manuscript. Mutual comments will aim to reveal what does and does not work for a poet, to develop greater self analysis, depth, understanding of the poetry tradition within which Canadian poets work and various alternative methods of saying what the poet has to say in his or her work. Develop your intuition and access to your subconscious mind.
