Poetry of Grief (Henry)


Adult Enrichment / Writing -
Adult Enrichment Spring 2024

Learn the definitions of grief and ways we all have and will experience grief. We will read poetry in a variety of styles and from a variety of time periods related to the experience of grief before we write poetry related to our own experiences with grief. Grief is not one thing or another, there is not one way. Grief can feel hard and isolating, it can also feel empowering and clarifying. Poetry can be a very helpful way to begin processing grief and to come back to as a way to connect and reflect. This class is not meant to be an intro to poetry but there is no previous education needed.
