If you want to ease your way into writing poetry (or get back on track after a hiatus), we offer a logical progression of SF poetry classes taught by Julie Bruck, as you can see from this summer's offerings: 1) A half-day Saturday afternoon workshop, "Poetry and Surprise," a 9-week "Fearless Poetry Workshop," AND a 6-month (once a month) "Fearless Poetry Continuation Workshop."
You don't HAVE to take these classes in this order, but if you're longing for a linear, structured way to pursue your passion for poetry, this certainly would make sense.
We've also got a half-day poetry workshop in Berkeley, "Three Hours to a Better Poem," taught by Jesse Loesberg, as well as Jesse's longer 5-week intro class, "The Truth about Poetry."
"If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that it is poetry."
— Emily Dickinson
