Course Description:   This is a class to learn how to appreciate the special wisdom that poems have to offer. Students prepare for class by reading selected poems, both aloud and silently. Readings are about 10 pages per week and the poets selected, one per week, have all served as Poets Laureate of the United States. The goal of the class is threefold:  1) to give participants skills to understand the meaning of poems they might encounter, 2) to build a foundation for reading and appreciating poems and 3) to find particular poets that each student would like to know better.
