|What Makes a Poet?
People say they can't write poetry. But this begs the question: What makes a poet? Is it the way things are phrased. Is it the ability to rhyme? Is rhyme necessary? Let's meet and discuss.

What Makes a Poet?
About the event
Have you ever marveled at a poet and thought, "I could never do that?" Plenty have. Yet a poem is more than how words are spaced on a page. It's soul. It's observation. It's language. There are poetic novelists (John Steinbeck) and poets that write novels (Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje). What is the difference? Let's discuss Saturday, September 12 at 10 a.m. Zoom meeting details when you RSVP.
