Designed for lovers of poetry as well as those who fear the genre, this five-day intensive will lead middle- and high school teachers through a variety of genreative, classroom-friendly exercises meant to inspire the teaching, writing, an reading of poetry. Drawing on the abundant resources of Poets House’s library, reading room, and multimedia center, as well as visits from guests, poet Jason Koo and and performance poet Jon Sands, participant teachers will compose, workshop, and share their own poems over the course of the week.
